"...has agreed to no longer censor teacher Steven Williams...from providing...supplemental readings such as...excerpts from the Declaration of Independence."

It is a pretty sick country we live in when the courts will prohibit ANYONE from having people read excerpts from the Declaration of Independence regardless of whether they're a Christian or not. I suspect there's more to this story but, even so, I can't imagine under what circumstance reading the DofI would be offensive.

God save us from "school officials."

One semester in "kid prison" our then 15-year-old son had to read three books in AP English whose plots all centered on a father raping his young daughter.

When I asked the teacher why three books with the same theme, she smiled and said, "That's life."

She was all of 26.
