That's what happens when politicians decide on school textbooks. I don't even know if the Moses thing is as bad as a couple years ago when the politicians were fighting to only allow "republic" to describe the US in textbooks rather than "democracy".

Just because he made the jump from high school to pros, was a dominant rebounder and scorer and on the NBA 50 greatest players list doesn't make him a founding father. Get some perspective, damn conservative nut bags.

Not to mention, he was also a great orator.

The real entertainment there is not in the exhibits, but the collection of humanity that stands around looking at the exhibits. 

Also - attendance numbers are down compared to projections as Militias still view an annual trip to Cabela's a Mecca-like journey compared to the arc.  Leaving their home state, let alone - county, still is a major hurdle as well.

"Fo, fo, fo"    When asked about the 76 ers playoff prospects.

My personal favorite Moses is Maimonides. Known more commonly by his street handle, "Rambam," Maimonides was a gifted distributor and could knock them down from long distance. His finely honed sense of justice gave him unsurpassed court awareness as he ensured all players were involved in the action. There were three great teams during his playing days. He moved seamlessly between two of them and was loved equally by the home crowds in both.
