Begin Sarcasm. The PC crowd will inform our future school children the Declaration of Independence was actually written by a slave named Frederick Douglas and then stolen by Thomas Jefferson. George Washington, of course, was a complete idiot and never would have won the Revolutionary War had it not been for the sage advice of a woman named Susan B. Anthony. (It doesn't matter when these people actually lived or what they actually did, it only matters to put out a narrative that captures the correct emotional effect.) End sarcasm.
In addition, the Constitution of the US was actually written by the Iroquois and then stolen by Ben Franklin (oh wait! I've actually seen this in a "history" book in spite of the fact the Iroquois had no written language!).
I hate to break this to you, coaldigger, but I' afraid you need to ask Presidebt O'Pinocchio to make himself known with that sociopathic narcissistic legacy he's working on. Imagine O's smiling face on one dollar bills. I'm certain Super Zero would not veto legislation that would replace Jefferson's face on a nickle with Al Sharpton's. You see, a nickle is too low a denomination for the Great And Powerful O. Come to think of it, maybe that would also be true of a dollar. Mr. Benjamin Franklin, I have some bad news for you.
It reminds me of "1984", rewriting history on a daily asis. Like Obama stating the US has always been a Muslim nation. Guess if he repeats if enough, he figures history will change to make it so. When our daughter was in school, it was in to make the US the bad guy, and Japan poor victims of the bomb drop. They were not learning Japan had been the aggressor and were imperialists at one time, Pearl Harbor was ignored, until the movie came out and kids saw it. Now the history books are a farce, making sure to include pop culture icons in place of Founding Fathers.
Leaving Jefferson out like this is like eating a steak and complaining about killing animals for food.
Just more hypocrisy.
The R's should pick this up and adopt him as representing their ideas, and have a Jefferson dinner to spite the D's as extoll the good that he did,
The association of "colored" people continues assigning blame to an extinct practice, when the difference is far more apparent in pants around one's ankles, spinners on 22" wheels on 1970 cars, and other intentionally differentiating practices conducted by those claiming other discriminate against them! It is tragic that a solid voice among them is now silenced by an unrelated, but terrible sex crime...Cosby.
Jackson tossed out the banksters. That alone kept millions of Americans "free" for 80 years including all races. The scale of justice is in Jackson's favor.
If there is one person alive today that can contribute one thousandth as much to mankind as Mr. Jefferson, he needs to make himself known. Compared to what we have I will vote for him to be king!

Perhaps it will fall to us to preserve our country's heritage, just as Taiwan preserved China's past during Mao's Cultural Revolution!
