Liberals are capitalizing on dumbing down Americans with new Capitol Visitor Center

Even the new Capitol Visitor Center dug into Capitol Hill subverts our Constitution and our history with Liberal revisionism.

Washington Times - SPALDING: A ‘Capitol’ crime

As an expert in the U.S. Constitution and America’s Founding, I thought I had lost the ability to be shocked by politically correct distortions of our history. Then I visited the new Capitol Visitor Center.

The just-completed Visitor Center, which opened yesterday, is a 580,000-square-foot cavern dug at the foot of the U.S. Capitol at a cost of $621 million (almost 9 times over budget).

The “educational” part is the Exhibition Hall, the theme of which is “E Pluribus Unum - Out of Many, One.” The etching in marble initially referred to that phrase as the nation’s motto. Now, however, that etching is covered by a bad plaster job, because … well, “E Pluribus Unum” is not the nation’s motto. Our actual motto, “In God We Trust,” is notably absent, along with other references to faith.

Take how the exhibit treats the Northwest Ordinance, the 1787 document that signaled the beginning of America’s westward expansion. It’s selectively quoted to encourage education - carefully shorn of its opening clause: “Religion, morality and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind.”
