Teachers told the Miami Herald the new standards portray the founders as against the idea of the separation of church and state, downplay the role of the colonies in slavery, and push conservative judicial theories.

More proof that while the GOP talks about Parental Choice, the walk they walk is 'OUR choice.' Your kids are going to hate you someday if you give them control of Congress.
