Tea partyers push to remove criticisms of Founding Fathers from textbooks



Tea party activists in Tennessee are pushing state legislators to amend curriculum in a way that eliminates criticisms of the Founding Fathers' treatment of Native Americans and holding of slaves,

Roughly two-dozen tea partyers demanded that their state lawmakers modify textbook standards to "compel the teaching of students in Tennessee the truth regarding the history of our nation and the nature of its government,"

"No portrayal of minority experience in the history which actually occurred shall obscure the experience or contributions of the Founding Fathers, or the majority of citizens, including those who reached positions of leadership."

mirrors a sweeping decision last March by the Texas Board of Education that dramatically altered curriculum standards to portray conservatism more positively and replace the term "slave trade" with "Atlantic traingular trade."
