What should school tour guides say about Jefferson Monument when on DC school trips?

[zulchzulu]

The Texas Board of Education has proposed taking Thomas Jefferson, a fairly important Founding Father, off the school books for children due to him being suspiciously secular to a majority of the board, consisting of 10 Republican Hyper-Superstitionalists.

Story

So when the school tour bus drives by the Jefferson Memorial, what does the student tour guide say over the bus speakers when kids ask about the building, since they would have no idea who Thomas Jefferson is?

[arcadian]

1. That the building is a monument to US imperial aspirations.

Which would be the correct interpretation.

2. Hehehe!

So you would have voted against the Louisiana Purchase? The Federalists thought it was a worthless desert.

:rofl:

3. The Jefferson memorial is a tip of the hat to the Roman Empire.

4. "That building used to be depicted on the back of the nickel....

until Jefferson was discovered to be suspiciously secular. Who's ready for an RC Cola and a Moon Pie?"

8. That sounds like it could be a South Park script

Perhaps they will address the issue.

5. So when the students ask

who wrote the Declaration of Independence what are they going to say? Prophets?

6. No, "It was written by God fer Christyuns..

and plus also we wuz meant to be a Christyun nation, too."

[POAS]

7. Ronald Reagan?

Off by a few centuries but when did that ever stop them.
