Call us crazy, but that looks suspiciously like Thomas Jefferson.

In other words, History, none of the above.

Update:

Took a while, but History finally wised up to its mistake and gave it another shot:

Good for them. But while the original “Common Core” version has been deleted from History’s feed, it remains preserved here on Twitchy, for ourselves and our posterity.
