Charles Ridgell, St. Mary's County Public Schools curriculum and instruction director, said: "We teach about Thanksgiving from a purely historical perspective, not from a religious perspective."

He is a hard-boiled liar.

Lets see, they are banning God in Maryland, and the Constitution in California, in Alabama they carted away the Ten Commandments on a furniture dolly.

Seems someone is trying to send us a message.

Moral Absolutes Ping. One last one for the night.

Actually, I'm glad that public screwels are being so upfront about their loyalty to the ACLU, atheism, historical revisionism, hatred towards religion (with the notable exception of Islam - things that make you go Hmmmm...), feminism, and last but not least, "gay"ism.

Today we've seen the Declaration of Independence declared vertboten in a California school, a dudge - I mean judge - decreeing that schoolchildren can have immersion in Islam while not a Bible can be read or prayer pass their lips, and now Thanksgiving is only historical.

Giving thanks to WHOM? And since George Washington declared the first Thanksgiving officially for the newly independent United States of America (can't remember the date, it's been posted here today and Rush read it), the historical relevance and religious significance cannot be separated.

Anyway, it's better to know your enemies. Let them be who they are, personally I'm tired of being Mr. Nice Guy.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

It has got to be the most frustrating thing on the planet to argue with a liberal about the so called "separation clause".

You can tell them until you are blue in the face, that it does not exist, and they look at you like your crazy.

On one occasion, I pulled my pocket copy of the Constitution out and asked this idiot to find it, after he claimed repeatedly that it is there.

He got frustrated when he could not see it and claimed I had ripped the page out.

Then he spotted the CATO institute name on the book and claimed it was a Republican version.

I tried, oh man I tried! But he never budged, he never accepted that it did not have a separation clause.

I determined that when he read the Establishment clause, that he read it correctly as not referring to separation.

It is amazing that a lie told thousands of times becomes the truth, and believers of that truth will accept no other.

Maryland: a democrat state where your children are indoctrinated into homosexuality as a good thing and as a form of family....and where the very mention of GOD in the classroom is forbidden and will get you sued by the ACLU. What is wrong with THIS picture?

"We teach about Thanksgiving from a purely historical perspective, not from a religious perspective."

A lot like teaching about dairy products without mentioning Cows.

This guy is tasting shoe leather and he doesn't even know it...And he probably thinks religious people are ignorant.

"Students may give thanks to anyone but, God."

Uh...this is probably a silly question...but whom should they thank?

Government? The Democrat Party? Politicians? Leftist leaders? Karl Marx? Sixties Hippies? The "Mainstream Newsmedia"? Dan Rather? Bill and Hillary? "Camelot"?

One thing's for sure--the Muslims are not in doubt.

And this from one of the RED counties in Maryland. I lived in St Mary's for 7 years and I HATED every day of it. Too many SMIB's.

What is the matter with you spineless Christians in Maryland? Why should you support a godless organization with your tax dollars? God will ask you to give an account in this blatant rejection of Him and your part in it. When the government will not allow Pres. George Washington's declaration of the first Thanksgiving to be read in public schools, this is no longer a free country.
Let's just say they wouldn't try this in Texas.
