"...he was second only to Washington in importance to our founding...."

I agree but my daughter brought home a Scholastic book fare mini-catalog from her private church-related school and it contained no books on Washington specifically but it had three on Martin Luther King, Jr (none on Booker T. Washington either naturally). It did have a book about heroes of the revolution "including Nathan Hale, Crispus Aticks, Molly Pitcher, and nine others".

C'mon!

Everyone knows that Molly Pitcher won us that war.

I mean, what did ol' George do, 'cept lead the Continental Army?

(Eye roll.)

Nathan Hale, Crispus Aticks, Molly Pitcher,

Better tell her to watch it! Reading about these people could get her in trouble. :-)

Sad. My younger boy was educated in a private church run school and I see no superiority in his education over that of his brother who attended public schools. Though I realize the hatred voiced by a clique here attempts to drown out positive comments about public schools.
