Funny how they love when the Philistines bomb schools and buses in Israel, or shoot rockets that intentionally target noncombatants. Their labeling the US founding fathers terrorists is therefore almost certainly because Jefferson was a freedom-loving capitalist instead of a government-loving Marxist.

The thing is, we won our war against the British, so we should be entitled to the spoils that come with writing the history books. (Although I normally take a moment to remark that, as a Texan, my home has never been under British rule.)

Yet another reason we homeschool.
Spanish, French, and Mexican, but not British.
