In other words, History, none of the above.

For the record, John Adams does appear on the back of the $2 bill. Unfortunately, John Adams and John Quincy Adams are not the same person.
Maybe not History’s finest hour, but at least it’s got people talking.

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.
