In a rambling and idiotic statement, a Louisiana lawmaker said the Declaration of Independence is racist and schoolchildren should not be forced to learn it.

Demonstrating not only her kindergarten-level oratory skills, but her cognitive ability as well, State Rep. Barbara Norton said that “For the Declaration of Independence, only Caucasians [were] free. And for you to bring a bill to request that our children will recite the Declaration, I think it’s a little bit unfair.”

Here’s precisely what this historical and constitutional expert said on the floor of the state house:

I’m not really sure what your intent is, but one thing that I do know is, all men are not created equal. When I think back in 1776, July the fourth, African Americans were slaves and for you to … and for you … bring a bill to request that our children will recite the Declaration … I think is a little bit unfair … to us … to ask those children to recite something that’s not the truth. And for you to ask our children to repeat … the Declaration stating that all mens are free, I think is unfair. In 1776, Dr. King was not even born. He was not even … African Americans were in slavery. So since they were in slavery in the Declaration of Independence day, we were all treated … we were all created equal, we were not created equal because in 1776, July the Fourth, I nor you nor any of us were born, nor was Dr. King born, so we were in slavery and to have our children to repeat … to repeat again and again documents that was not even validated, I don’t think that that’s fair because we’re teaching them a lie.”

Keep in mind that Rep. Norton is a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School and completed one legal course at Louisiana State University – so she knows what she’s talking about.

On “Fox and Friends” conservative author Deneen Borelli slammed Norton’s idiotic comments.

“For her to be attacking the Declaration of Independence, that is attacking liberty, that is attacking freedom,” Borelli said.

She added that the Democratic Party, of which Norton is a member, doesn’t exactly have the strongest record on slavery and race relations throughout U.S. history.

“People should not let her get away with this.”

Of course, – and this goes without saying, but the Founding Fathers were not supporters of slavery. Many owned slaves, but disliked the practice. They knew that slavery violated the core American ideas of liberty and equality. In the initial draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson condemned the practice, but it was removed under pressure from Southerners.
