Who's more important: Christopher Columbus or John Smith?
Clara Barton or Ruby Bridges?
Ruby Bridges or Dolores Huerta?
Is the story of Nathan Hale too gruesome for first graders?
Will history books refer to the 44th American president as Barack Obama, Barack H. Obama or Barack Hussein Obama?
The curriculum covers grades kindergarten through high school, and yet after 12 hours of debate the board had only just begun talking about its biggest challenge high school standards at 9 p.m. Thursday.
All day long the board dropped, added and swapped the names of historical figures and events into and out of the standards. It began with 1st graders. John Smith was dropped, as was Nathan Hale, not because he wasnt important, but because, according to one teacher, the kids couldnt get past the hanging.
Despite deep political differences, the debate remained polite until the topic focused on President Obama. Then it got personal. Lawrence Allen, a black former high school principal from Houston offered a motion to enter President Barack Obamas name in a section of the curriculum that recognized significant dates in U.S. History.
I am getting pretty fed up with this, said Democrat Mary Helen Berlanger. You dont have to be derogatory. We dont always put in Jefferson in William Jefferson Clinton.
The intent behind what you are doing I think is pretty obvious, said Republican Bob Craig.
"This is our first black president," said board member Mavis Knight, who is black. "You are making it sound humiliating.
I ask the member to withdraw the motion and move forward in a dignified manner," said Democrat Rick Agusto.
Bradley did, but said under his breath, he did so, to put an end to the whining.
Knight shot back, I dont consider it whining.

Have the Liberals on the textbook committee not heard of Jesus Christ's sacrifice?! Yeah ... probably not.
It would appear that Hussein is now also OUT too. The Conservatives on the textbook committee reportedly grew tired of the Liberal's "whining."
“Ruby Bridges or Dolores Huerta?”
Who?
“Will history books refer to the 44th American president as Barack Obama, Barack H. Obama or Barack Hussein Obama?”
or Barack Hussein Obama, MM-MM-MM?
Barry Sotero
POS used it during his Oath of Office after months of censoring the AMERICAN people....now all of a sudden he gets a wild infected hair up his ....nose and people are to drop Hussein AGAIN.......screw em!
Hmmm ... during the primary you were considered a bigot and a hate monger if you called him by his full name.
As President, it's okay to show off his Muslim roots.
Now, for posterity it's a no-no?
Hmmm?
God only knows what the book will say about him.
FACT is it is his name. funny thing about facts.
Is Kennedy referred to as John Fitzgerald Kennedy?
Is Roosevelt referred to as Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
Is Martin King referred to as Martin Luther King?
That’s the one I would nail them with. If we can’t use
middle names then King becomes, “martin king.”
In fact if someone say the name “Martin Luther King” I’m going
to tell them it’s “martin king” because blacks find it offensive to use the middle name of black leaders.
“Have the Liberals on the textbook committee not heard of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice?! Yeah ... probably not. “
Hey, don’t sweat it. They want to REPLACE Christmas with a HINDU holiday! Yup! Erase Christ is the first order of the day - if not directly then INDIRECTLY in our history.
Recall how CE (common Era) is REPLACEING A.D and BCE is replacing B.C..
I always thought that Obama’s middle name was Fredo...
Oh, come now. Don't you know your Liberal historical figures?!
Integration
Helped create the United Farm Workers (UFW) the first
successful union of farm workers in U.S. history
His middle name ??.....I would like to give Obama the middle finger.
His middle name ??.....I would like to give Obama the middle finger.
I simply say: FUBO!!
Please excuse me, FReeper ladies.
They are ashamed of his terrorist rooted middle name...as they should be. The man and his groupies are an embarrassment to the human race.
Barack Hussein Obama. What an ugly name. So soft and Hopey Changey sounding.
Barack Hussein Obama should be an alias and make reference to the fact he changed his name when he converted to Islam.
“In fact if someone say the name Martin Luther King Im going to tell them its martin king because blacks find it offensive to use the middle name of black leaders.”
Good point. And hopefully we will add a prefix to his name- Prisoner No. 5.
For heaven’s sake, the guy’s name IS Barack Hussein Obama. Duh!
Remember, Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm...
How did they say it? LMAO
Democrats are mentally deficient.
“...or Barrack Hussein Obama, MM-MM-MM?”
I believe the liberals would like it to be “Dear Leader, Lord Obama, the Great!”
