RAFIQ JENNINGS, WRITER: Can you explain to the audience that Texas is working to put this into history books, it's not trying to take out black history as the hype propagated by the media.BARTON: The media doesn't like what we're doing. I was one of the six guys appointed in Texas to help oversee the writing, the standards for one of the experts and we got every one of these guys back in.

In school, I only learned about Frederick Douglas.
Resources that ALL conservatives must obtain are:
1. All Wallbuilders.com materials
2. ALL Founder Fridays telecasts(with after the show stuff too).
Glenn Beck in someone all should be listening to.
I certainly don’t mean to take away from the important work Glenn Beck is doing as he exposes how the Leftist “Progressives” have systematically re-written and / or wiped out certain ‘inconvenient’ history which doesn’t fit the ‘narrative’ they have carefully worked out and have been relentlessly ‘teaching’ in the public schools, colleges, and universities. We need to make every effort to get the real history into as many hands as possible if we’re going to stop their agenda in its tracks and reverse the inroads they’ve made in our society.
But I have one slight quibble with the way Beck sometimes uses the word, “Founders” and/or “Founding Fathers”. Since his use is not _technically_ correct, it unnecessarily opens him up to criticism.
“The phrase “Founding Fathers” is a proper noun.
In other words, Founding Fathers refers directly to a very specific group of people (although I think you could be a little bit flexible and include a little wider group of people). Those who intellectually contributed to the Constitutional convention were the Founding Fathers.”
Thomas Payne and Ethan Allen, for example, were in no- wise intellectual architects of the Constitution. Rather, they were firebrands of the Revolution. Was that important? Sure, they made an important contribution, but they weren’t Founding Fathers. Period.”
