"What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ." -Geoge Washington
Any and every Christian reading this article should support this effort whole heartedly. For too long, many Christians (who still make up over 78% of the population in America) have idly watched while a meager minority of secularists and non-believers have beat their drums and tried to remove every vestige of the Christian faith and long held American values from our educational system. The deplorable moral state of our public schools is the result of this and other unfortunate factors of the times in which we live. Myths? The THEORY of evolution has been taught in school in a manner that presents it as an incontrovertible fact despite its flaws and inconsistencies which are never explored. How about teaching the geological record that supports the idea of a world wide flood? How about the ruins of Jericho that show that the walls were not pushed IN by a conquering army, but were pushed DOWN as from above? How about teaching that Native American tales of a whole day of total darkness perfectly correspond the record in Joshua when God held the sun in its place for a day on the other side of the globe? To stricken these ideas and discussions from a school because a few folks don't like the bible or have other views would be an educational tragedy. To deny these schools the right to teach these classes where the MAJORITY of community members are calling for them would be a clear violation of the establishment clause which states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXCERSICE THEREOF". Many people today seem to forget that part.
"I have carefully examined the evidences of the Christian religion, and…I can prove its truth as clearly as any proposition ever submitted to the mind of man."- Alexander Hamilton (after whom Hamilton County, TN was named)
Churches hope to support Signal, Howard Bible classes
