DECLARATION FOUNDATION'S "EDUCATION PAPERS"
by Dr. Richard Ferrier, President March 21th
Florida's legislature has just overwhelmingly passed the "Celebrate Freedom Week" bill, and it is expected that Governor Jeb Bush will sign it. The bill's authors, Sen. Charlie Clary and Rep. Jerry Melvin, are requiring FLA public schools, in the last week of September, to include recitation of a portion of the Declaration of Independence, starting with the words, "We hold these truths ..." and it will further mandate "at least 3 hours of appropriate instruction in each social studies class, as determined by each school district, which instruction shall include an in-depth study of the intent, meaning, and importance of the Declaration of Independence."

Now, Richard, a minor suggestion: Next time, write a better headline; maybe something like:
DECLARATION FOUNDATION'S "EDUCATION PAPERS" [Jeb and FL (and TX) lead the way!]
Just a minor suggestion! :)

I hear you. Maybe you should repost with the new headline?
I have no pride of authorship, I just want the good work done.
Cheers,
