This is exactly my point; some liberal makes an inane remark and the lefties run with it above their heads like a burning bra. Everyone looks and screams, what are those conservatives making us do now….. They ARE NOT replacing Thomas Jefferson.
You CANNOT replace Thomas Jefferson, He wrote the Declaration of Independence, He was our Third President, He was the FIRST AMERICAN President to VOCALLY HATE SLAVERY…….. If this alone doesn’t scream of the blatant one-sided narrow perspective of some angry self-pitying liberal goon, well, I just can’t believe people could even imagine that they would remove a President from the history books, let alone Thomas Jefferson. How can you people believe this garbage?
I think some of you people just like to believe the doom and gloom, and I’m the one that’s a pessimist. It’s apparent to me, it really doesn’t matter what I have to say, you have all made your own decisions. It’s funny, all the sudden, I want to MOVE TO TEXAS.

Here's the specific text they've changed:
it was:
“explain the impact of Enlightenment ideas from John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Voltaire, Charles de Montesquieu, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and Thomas Jefferson on political revolutions from 1750 to the present.”
It became:
“explain the impact of the writings of John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Voltaire, Charles de Montesquieu, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin and Sir William Blackstone.”
So they quite unambiguously dropped Jefferson from the history of Enlightenment and his impact on the revolutions from 1750 to the present. No one claimed that they dropped Jefferson entirely, so the description of what they did regarding him is fairly accurate.
