Demote, like take him OUT of Enlightenment Curriculum. In a vote of 10-5 in a new standard for Texas Textbooks on the subject he is being replaced by such thinkers as St. Thomas Aquinas. Why would that be..?
Two new members of the Board - David Barton and Peter Marshall - whom are ideological Christians. They oppose the idea of seperation of church and state and I suppose would rather see a Theocracy replace our current government!
They suppose our founders wanted a Christian nation, depsite the first amendment proposed by James Madison and upheld by nearly all of our founders. To take Thomas Jefferson out of any curriculum on political thinkers of Enlightenment is completley insane.
Texas is a major influence when it comes to textbooks in this country and this is insanely dangerous. This is not a fight to take lightly, we must FIGHT and FIGHT hard. This has the potentially of totally destroying the foundations of this country. Moreso than any other single action, because it will bring America closer and more in line with it's European ancestory of perpetual war for centuries millenia.
What other things do they want to do? As I have noted, get rid of one of the greatest political minds in World history, especially concerning limited government and personal liberty, but to sensationalise an American Christian theocracy, destroy any gay rights movements in Texas.
They would rather uphold the ideas of Christian Nations that tyrannized Europe for centuries and laid no foundations for the liberties of humanity. Thomas Jefferson was one of those thinkers who was able to break the mold, as a founder of the country that brought liberty to a world shackled in oppression. Texas Board of Education would rather the future of Texas not know that, and think that theocracy is somehow a better form of government and that equality and liberty is not as important.
