Jonathan Saenz, director of legislative affairs for Liberty Institute, testified at the Board hearing along with numerous concerned teachers and parents.
'Their message was, 'Keep the concepts of American exceptionalism and preserve the Judeo-Christian values that have had an impact on our law and government. Do not take that kind of information out; don't take out some of our notable leaders,'' Saenz reports. 'And a lot of those corrections and changes have been made - a lot of good progress.
