Louisiana Democrat State Representative Attacks Declaration Of Independence On House Floor
The Hayride ^ | May 26, 2016 | Scott McKay (MacAoidh)

Posted on 05/26/2016 4:12:40 PM PDT by smith5460

HB 1035, a bill by Rep. Valarie Hodges that would have mandated that schoolchildren in Louisiana be taught the Declaration of Independence, sailed through the House Education Committee with a 6-2 vote. But Wednesday, when the bill reached the floor of the House, it had a different fate – amid a torrent of squabbling, Hodges returned the bill to the calendar and it’s likely finished for the session.

The Louisiana House of Representatives has 61 Republican members out of 105, and yet it was apparent no consensus for a cornerstone of basic civics in the state’s public schools did not seem available to the bill’s supporters.

They eventually got ALL of Christian faith to be eliminated by 1960 so they could demean it and erase it from minds of children and embed satanism, atheism and Mother Earth Worship (ethics) so children would be totally irrational and immoral.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963

...snip.......




27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

Right on schedule I would say.

The Declaration of Independence was one of the documents I had to memorized in 8th grade. Of course at that time we were expected to read and write as well.

From the article: "What we found out was something many of us knew – namely, that Rep. Barbara Norton, a Democrat from Shreveport, isn’t a fan of our founding documents – and also is a barely sentient being."

Priceless.....

The article reminded me of all the 2012 Declaration of Independence from the Obama administration. I found FOUR! LOL

Anyway, I’ve been debating (with myself) about whether God will allow a worldwide revival before He releases His wrath due to all the legal abominations and today I read that:
