At the risk of riling up FR, I don’t think this is a big deal. What did “men” mean? Did the Declaration only apply to males? The change did not alter the meaning.
I suggest changing your clothes to something with a bit more asbestos in it.
That arrogant bitch has no right to alter the text of our founding document.
I think it’s a big deal because this idiot not only altered one of our sacred documents but then displayed it to 4th grade students teaching them.
How about a teacher that would alter The Constitution or the Bill of Rights and teach students with the altered version?
I cringingly agree with you.
So lying is okay, as long as it’s done so poorly that a fourth grader can figure out that it’s a lie?
If you look at the meaning of the word “man” in a digital edition of the 1755 dictionary by Samuel Johnson, you will find both meanings (males and human beings) listed, among others.
There is no reason to change the word, other than political correctness.
