It is also possible that the teacher was using the documents mentioned to advance the notion that we are somehow a Christian nation, and that the founding fathers were all Christians. We know that this notion is false, and the principal would be correct in stopping the teacher.
The founders were very religious people. To deny it is to be a revisionist. Which of course most colleges and schools are full of, revisionist teachers.
The founders were not all religious. Please get your history correct. Wait, who am I kidding? You're a southerner...I shouldn't expect you to get history right.
Gosh, Isn't that bigotry? You know, what liberals are saying is supposed to be wrong? Okay, some Southerners do have their heads screwed on sideways, but still... isn't the whole point of 'tolerance' not to judge? Or is it only okay to judge Jews, Christians, Southerners, Americans (in general), and Israelis?
Damn... my unsophisticated head hurts.
