Re: They are playing to the myth of "The Persecuted Christian"

70.145.228.250

The article seems to state in behalf of all religion, nowhere on what was posted does it state the Christian faith only..

Only mentioned Christian once, but does not suggest otherwise..

"They will be free to skip history classes which claim that the Founding Fathers were not fundamentalist Christians."

And the majority of the founding fathers were Christians, they came over on a boat..

"Persecuted"

Common place here.
Doesn't take them too awfully long to discover the pricks Paul were kickin'.. :)
