The Wall Street Journal's Law Blog flags a story in the Memphis Commercial Appeal that the Tennessee Tea Party wants to amend state law on school curriculum and textbook selection so that “no portrayal of minority experience in the history which actually occurred shall obscure the experience or contributions of the Founding Fathers.” In case you're not completely sure what that means, an attorney/spokesperson for the group says the goal is to address “an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another.”
