When Rick Santorum falsely claims that the University of California system doesn’t offer courses in American history he doesn’t mean what you think he means. What he is saying is that those universities teach a distorted version of history in which this county was founded mainly by Protestants who displaced a preexisting native people. And some of those Protestants took their skepticism a notch or two further and started reading the philosophes and cranks like David Hume, John Locke and Adam Smith. And then they started doubting that the Baby Jesus had superpowers. And they split off the state from religious institutions, causing Santorum to suffer nausea. He can’t believe that the first president to believe in the Holy Trinity was Andrew Jackson, who only was baptized on his deathbed. And he didn’t even become president until 1829. That’s forty years of rule by people who refused to take communion. I mean, WTF? Are these professors serious? And what the hell is wrong with Wikipedia?
John Adams attended a Catholic Mass in Philadelphia one day in 1774. He praised the sermon for teaching civic duty, and enjoyed the music, but ridiculed the rituals engaged in by the parishioners.[7] In 1788, John Jay urged the New York Legislature to require office-holders to renounce the pope and foreign authorities “in all matters ecclesiastical as well as civil,” which included both the Catholic and the Anglican churches.[8] Thomas Jefferson, referring to Europe, wrote: “History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government,”[9] and, “In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.”
This isn’t history. It’s straight-up un-American bigotry.
You know what else they teach in those damned California schools? How about this? They say that the original Constitution had the following clause:
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.
They were counting felons in the census? Felons who hadn’t even fulfilled their sentence of bondage? And don’t Indians live in Asia? Obviously they should be excluded. And who were these “other Persons” who only counted for three-fifths. The whole things sounds like elitist revisionist history from eggheads who hate America.
You can’t trust this kind of information. You can’t have kids learning this stuff. But this is what happens when you let the homosexual agenda run rampant.
