Today, Mississippi Department of Education held a public hearing addressing the concerns centered around the State Board of Education's move to make changes according to the Mississippi College and Career Readiness Standards for Social Studies. However, the removal of certain critical information from history, the lack of definitions for certain terms, and much more. Speakers said that the proposed revisions removed parts of history including Natural Law, terms such as ‘Constitution' and ‘patriotism,' and the concept of America's founding fathers. They asked questions such as what the "real reason" for changing the curriculum was and why scripture has been removed from the curriculum.
