Fact: when TJ was appointed president of the Washington, DC school system, he installed a copy of Isaac Watt's hymnal and the Bible as the two primary reading texts.

This is not a fact. It has been refuted. Bibles were introduced in W.D.C. schools three years after Jefferson left on the basis of a then-popular educational system. David Barton, the author who promoted this idea, has written a press release acknowledging this and other errors.
