The PRC Does it Again

Declaration of Independence Banned at Calif School

That's the People's Republic of California, not China. It should not come as a great surprise that the state that mandates grade school students be educated about Islam but thinks "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is trespassing far across the line has produced another ruling devoid of reason: The Declaration of independence is unsuitable reading material for impressionable young fifth-graders. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and William Penn will no doubt lead our children to new depths of depravity previously unimagined by the greatest criminal deviants of all time.

If California wants to be truly consistent, they must immediately stop paying their school employees in U.S. currency and accepting payments in that form. Henceforth, all education, and indeed governmental, financial transactions must be conducted through the medium of gold, silver, or some other non-Christian-deity tainted metal. I would suggest glass beads as a suitable medium of exchange except for the fact that this time of year makes me mindful it was exactly such trinkets that were brutally used by the ruthless (WHITE) European settlers to defraud the gentle, innocent, and naive indigenous peoples of this great land when taking possession of Manhattan.

Sadly, California is not unique in holding and expressing these views in our country. They simply have a greater concentration of intellectual deficients per capita than any other region of the land, and are further hampered by a compulsion to display their handicap for all the world to see. Even the Supreme Court of the United States erred in providing such an exaggerated broadening of the separation concept. The First Amendment admonishment that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" does not that government and government monies will have zero interaction with anything that might even remotely be associated with (Christian) religion. The Amendment only means that Congress will not establish the Church of America and require all good citizens or else, nor will they prohibit citizens from practicing any religion of their choosing or none.

Religion was the primary motivating factor inspiring many of the earliest colonists to journey to this continent. Religion was an important element in the lives of many of our founding fathers. These are historical facts, not inventions of the Vatican designed to bring a wayward nation under the thumb of the Pope. Contrary to popular belief, common sense and common courtesy are not prohibited anywhere in the Constitution. More widespread practice of these would go far to solve any number of the problems we face as a nation.
