Tennessee Tea Party ‘Demands’ That References To Slavery Be Removed From History Textbooks »

And in Newt Gingrich’s world, it will be black students with mop and broom in hand that will symbolize the newly cleansed history of America….

Let’s not learn from the shameful events in our history; let’s suddenly pretend they never happened?

Can I have the TN Tea Party removed from the history books? Because if it’s that easy to gloss over the bad parts of American history, surely their existence qualifies.

This disgusts me. Changing it up, playing it down or playing it up, doesn’t change what actually happened and doesn’t change the horrors that the United States has committed (I know Republicans, it’s hard to believe that the USA would make a mistake! /Sarcasm). If we don’t properly learn about our history, how are we supposed to learn from it?

    What the what?! Just because we’re not proud of that history doesn’t mean we should wipe it out from our history...
