...but Thomas Jefferson did not free his slaves

As long as we're discussing not teaching lies, Thomas Jefferson DID free some of his many slaves during his lifetime and several more by will.

And as long as we're talking about not teaching WASP mythology and not teaching coursees favoring one group, let's drop "The Lost Cause" mythology, the "Civil War Was Fought For States' Rights" idiocy & the rest of the white supremecist lies about the Civil War still in the curriculum in many places- likely including Arizona.
