The New Jersey state Department of Education has decided to add the names of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin to the state's proposed history standards after coming under fire for omitting the Founding Fathers from the original revisions drafted last month.

The decision to include the names came less than two days after state legislators and members of the public learned from a report in The Washington Times that the original draft left out the Founding Fathers.
