1.Just received a powerful text from 8th grade history teacher who ask me to pass on a request that all history teachers call their Senators tand explain their e inability they now have to teach their kids the words of America's founders in light of current events with Trump...
2...in particular, when they discuss Federalist papers, as kids read words of Adams & Jefferson, as well as Washington farewell address, all of which warn of and condemn possible foreign interference in our democracy, "Then they see trump on the lawn asking for foreign help"...
3...she wrote, "What I should tell them?" She doesnt know how to answer the question, and it no doubt presents itself. She called her Senator's office and asked what how is she supposed to reconcile the words of the Founders with the words of Trump in her lessons to 8th graders..
4...and the response from the Senator's office? "DEAD silence." She then writes the attached sentence, calling for every school history teacher to call their senator and ask how to reconcile the words of the Founders with the words of the President. This, @GOP, is the cost of...
@GOP 5...your decision to fight for your jobs instead of what America stands for. You are creating a generation that will see the words that founded this country as just naive blathering, not the statement of our principles. When you abandon principles, you have nothing.
