I feel left behind that I had never heard this before but thanks for posting the info. I am curious what everyone else thinks before I go and decide.

I’ve never heard of the Speech of the Unknown, which sort of proves your point. I can’t help but think of our local school district, which hosted an ongoing argument about teaching Cesar Chavez but not certain of those doddering old 18th century guys. ;-)

Speaking of late learning, it was only about five years ago that I got that drafting committee straight in my mind. I may have had a teacher who tried to teach me that Thomas Jefferson had a little help, but I didn’t comprehend a2 + b2 = c2 until I was over 40, and I’m sure they taught that in geometry. The teacher’s not always at fault.

I learned the lesson, though. In my own July 4 post I referenced the authors of the Declaration. My teacher would be proud.

Thanks for a great post, and Happy 4th!
