That is exactly what our idiot liberal schools are teaching our kids today...that America is bad. So we aren't perfect...is any country? At least our American system allows for change for the better, doesn't it? America should be super proud of its heritage.Our nation was based on many things including slavery and land-grabbing and denying voting rights to women.
In fact, it is time our schools start requiring that all students take and pass a thorough and patriotic course in American history before graduating.
Which is good.Okay. I think that I understand your position and I think that you understand my position. We simply agree to disagree. Your mind is contaminated with conservative influences and biases.
Your "consistency" position is based upon making minority religions of equal importance to our traditional American culture - they are not.No. I’m mistaken. I do not think that you understand my position though I think that I explained it very clearly. I believe in consistency. If teacher-led Christian influences should be removed from public schools then teacher-led Wiccan influences should be removed too. 95% Americans can continue to celebrate Christmas – on their own. We should either have all sorts of religious influences or all religious influences should be removed from public schools. I think that schools should not favor any one particular religious custom over another. I see no compelling need to impose any one religious custom upon anyone.
If stamping out Christian heritage from our culture is not the goal of the ACLU, then why is it leading the charge to stamp out Christian heritage from our culture?It is not the ACLU’s goal to remove Christianity from America. In many cases it defends Christians and their right to speak about their beliefs and even to distribute literature. Our country will continue to be Christian – meaning that most people are Christian – even if Christian prayers and displays are removed from government property and buildings. Yes. I understand your perspective. According to you, when it comes to religious influence in public schools – popularity makes one religion count to the exclusion of all others. I consider that to be an unfair double standard. Oh well. We agree to disagree about what is best for America and America’s public school students.
I knew you would cry the typical liberal accusation of "unfair double standard". Too bad. The American majority has tolerated minorities...it's about time the minorities stop being intolerant of the majority. We are a Christian nation and that's the way America has been historically and it's the way most of us Americans want it to continue to be. Christians are primarily what have made this country great---not atheists or wiccans or muslims or hindus or secular humanists.
