Will they teach about Lot and his daughters? That could, let's say, create sparks.

Hate to say this, but from the political party that couldn't remember the lesson of the vietnam war some 25 years after that conflict "ended", we want them to remember separation of church & state? Even though, its written in some really important document or two. Oh, yeah they hate that document.

That was kind of the exact reason the pilgrims came here. As a person who was super-religious for half her life, I'm always amazed at how many self-proclaimed Christians either don't know this, forget it, or can't see w/5 seconds of reflection why mixing religion & govt is terrible for religion.

At what point should the teacher point out that separation of Church and State was developed and championed by baptists in Virginia?

Any who believes the Founding Fathers were inspired by the 10 Commandments or the Bible has definitely not read the Founding Fathers' writings, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution, and probably not the Bible either.

The Electoral College's Habsburg Catholic roots aren't exactly a great argument for keeping it around IMO.

I feel like more attention should be paid to the last paragraph and its goal of "uniformity in delivery."

The Thirty Years War -- wars of state+religion, killing 1/4-1/5 of what is today Germany -- was no further back in their rear view mirror than the American Civil War is in ours -- 150 years. The pasts that are aren't dead, not even past, are many...
