[Vision2020] Diverse teachings

[Donovan Arnold]

I think people should dislike Andrew Jackson much more than Ronald Reagan. Reagan didn't slaughter millions of Indians on a trail of tears and blood to Oklahoma. Most of the bad things that happened under the Reagan administration probably happened without his knowing. 
 
I would replace Jackson on the $20 with Reagan in a heart beat. We should also replace Grant on the $50 with FDR. 
 
Reagan was a good human being. He made mistakes, and some of his policies turned out to be wrong. But I think the corruption in his administration occurred outside his knowledge.
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

Yes, Dave.  I used to tell Bob W. he ought to post pictures of the women 
presidents, too.  Lots of old white men hanging there.
