Last week Conroe ISD (my city) rejected a biology textbook because its chromosome section explained how DNA evidence was used to prove Thomas Jefferson fathered a child w/Sally Hemings. While absurd for any school district, it’s galling for the city that produced Annette Gordon-Reed.

So excited for my good friend and writing group teammate Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky to take over the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon. She's gonna do great things.

That book people are reading. And you know you want to. ‘American Zion’ by Benjamin Park

An honor to go on KUER's RadioWest to discuss Edward Tullidge. Listen to the story of a man who became a Mormon, deist, Mormon again, Godbeite, The Salt Lake Tribune founder, wrote Mormonism's first feminist history, and even joined the RLDS. It's a saga of evolving faith. radiowest.kuer.org/show/radiowest…

Recently, a Conroe ISD board member said it was "totally inappropriate" to teach students that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hemings. I wrote for Houston Chronicle why such an indefensible position is especially absurd for this school district. houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…

“I really feel like that’s completely inappropriate” to speak of a Founding Father in that way, Nelson insisted. Must-read essay by Benjamin Park on the attempt to shield children from learning historical facts about Thomas Jefferson in a Houston suburb. houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…
