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.

my blog is quickly turning into “why Tennessee is fucking awful”
