 * Gotcha, the theme is custom built from some other design company. It looks like
   it was based on Twenty Twelve.

 * Hmm, that totally makes sense. I’ll also look into walker class and jQuery.
 * So, just because I am trying to learn, is there no easier way to just get a new
   class into that html in order to reference a specific class? There has to be 
   somewhere in the php files, right? Let’s say I decided I wanted one of the tabs
   to have a red font and all the others black, wouldnt there be a simple way to
   just add or remove classes to make it happen? I mean, if I am going to just override
   a class wouldnt it make sense to just remove it from that section of html all
   together for cleaner mark-up?
 * I know these are beginner questions, but I dont have a ton of experience. We 
   typically get freelancers for dev work and I am trying to add some extra value
   to my team so we dont have to run and hire a freelancer every time we need a 
   little fix like this. Plus, its always nice to learn more.

 * Thanks for the feedback! So I went ahead and just made the change in the child
   theme. My main concern was that the class was being used elsewhere (although 
   I doubt it), so I didn’t want to change it.
 * At this point this has become more of a personal vendetta about doing it the 
   right way and learning more than anything else.
 * I’ve been doing research throughout the day and the class was current_page_parent
   and it seems that there are lots of people who have had issues with this class
   with no clear fixes.
 * We have multiple tabs and for whatever reason it is only being applied to this
   one particular tab for “news.”
 * For example, the list item for the “FAQ” tab is rendered like this:
 * `<li id="menu-item-47" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-
   page current-menu-item page_item page-item-9 current_page_item menu-item-47">
   </li>`
 * While the “news” tab has this applied:
 * `<li id="menu-item-370" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-
   page current-menu-item page_item page-item-37 current_page_item current_page_parent
   menu-item-370"></li>`
 * Obviously the only difference is that one class – current_page_parent. Isn’t 
   there an easy way to add and remove classes?
