How far will this country go to be politically correct? Not really good news, but certainly something everyone needs to be aware that is happening.
The Lone Star Report revealed that a fifth grader in Ector County Independent School District in Odessa, Texas, was told to memorize the Declaration of Independence as printed in "History Alive! America's Past," published by the Teachers' Curriculum Institute, or TCI.
But there was one hitch – an essential word had been altered.
State Board of Education member Terri Leo blasted the publisher for altering the Declaration of Independence.
"Instead of saying 'all men are created equal,' it says 'all people are created equal,'" Leo noted. "Are we going to tell kids what the actual document says or are we going to change words in those documents to be politically correct ... How can you change a historical document and not present it to students as written?"
