benny 0 #26 November 27, 2004 Funny, I'm sure you didn't mean to make this point, but maybe this is what the school district intended to avoid... Quote So the fact that pilgrims fled here from religious persecution, and thanked their God for his blessings, are not important historical facts? Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. However, history does tend to repeat itself when it is not learned, however, the article did not say the school district did not teach the story of the religious persecution the pilgrims suffered, merely that present day students wouldn't be allowed to publicly declare their thanks for their god. I know christians consider it persecution to not be able to publicly display their faith, but in terms of public school systems, we really don't want public displays of all that much, and I'd think you'd agree. Never go to a DZ strip show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #29 November 30, 2004 QuoteQuote The people running the school district are the elected representatives of their community. Which in no way precludes them from being idiots... and has nothing to do my post, either, for that matter. Does the correlation between this fact and our presidential election constitute trickle-up idiocy? Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
