While I can appreciate graphics ability, I am sorry but will be a party pooper here. Please know what I say makes an assumption that you were just having fun, enjoying working with a graphics program, and, like so many today, the thought I am about to express never entered your mind.

I personally cringe when I see when a person so important to the personal freedoms we enjoy has his image altered in such a manner (technically defaced - but trying to use nicer words). The reason we can even post here online without fear of some overbearing official powers seeking us out for opinions they may not share is, in a huge way, due to the actions of George Washington.

He was a man with an amazing character who even who turned down being the King of America. Being a former history teacher, I used to make sure my students appreciated actual (not modern re-written) history of the US (using writings of the day). I made sure they were taught that because of men like Washington and our forefathers, America was called the Land of Opportunity and became the envy of the world. This is factual (think Ellis Island), and our forefathers are the reason for it.

So while I bear you absolutely no ill will, I hope you can understand why things such as this are disturbing to me. Unfortunately our society has largely forgotten, and lost a lot of appreciation for, the sacrifices people before us gave so we can enjoy what we have.

Since our society and "education" system is inundated with a lack of factual education and gratitude, and while we live in a day where American history is being rewritten to make our country look evil, it is understandable how things like this are innocently (note that word) overlooked.

Awesome PS job

I think that's a spectacular way to teach. Looking at the evidence and then leaving it up for the students to form ideas is excellent in my opinion. I hope others are following the same methods.
