Texas board omits Jefferson in social studies standards
In a party line vote the Texas Board of Education tentatively approved new social studies standards and included Phyllis Schlafly while excluding Thomas Jefferson. The editorial criticizes the move as ideological and argues Jefferson belongs in the curriculum alongside Schlafly, noting Jefferson’s role as author of the Declaration and a founding figure despite his slave ownership. The piece labels the board as incompetently mixing ideology with education, referencing the wall of separation remark.
