If you are referring to "... a teacher asking the children to compare Nat Turner to George Washington or Thomas Jefferson..., " then no, you didn't, but I was quoting you. By the way, your explantion of how a teacher might do so eased my mind a bit. Still wonder if there is really a need to use Turner as an example. I recall my own disappointment at finding out when I was long out of grade school that I had been fooled into thinking he was more than he was.
