We may not be around to see it, and I hope I’m not, but one day the history books will have no mention of the founding fathers. If they do it won’t be praising them for what they did.

You post: “one day the history books will have no mention of the founding fathers”

They're already trying - in Texas, where the content of the country's text books are decided.

And then there's this - a chilling precedendent in England:

“Even Winston Churchill no longer merits a mention after a drastic slimming-down of the syllabus to create more space for “modern” issues.”

I corresponded, at the time, with Churchill's grandson, MP. He said we Americans seemed more upset than his countrymen. Very disheartening.
