You know I am a big fan of Thomas Jefferson, but come on, it's public school. Half of the US won't even be in it.

Also, without question, the biggest influence in becoming the country we are today, came from John Adams. All I ever heard about him in High School, was is was the second president.

That fact is not lost because he was less liked then George Washington, and thus less talked about then him in schools.

Public schools suck. You want your kids to learn? Teach them yourself, or take them to private school. I am sure neither will be using the textbooks that come from this ratification.

If you are going to dismiss this issue because it affects the public school curriculum and turn that into a stepping stone for talking up private/homeschooling, just.... just take it to another topic, that's pretty much the last direction I want this to go.

It just seems your all fired up over this. Make a list of what's wrong with our school system, and see how far down the list this goes.

Not sure it would even make my first page.

I did too. I went to school in Texas even. Got A's in every class though high school. The sad thing is, I played middle line backer for a school with a good football team (there is where the Texas part matters), half of the classes I got A's in, I never even stepped into. Good thing I am a smart guy, because I didn't learn shit in high school (other then how to disguise a blitz).
