Perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised
about this, inasmuch as it's happening in the People's Republic of California. Still. It really blows my mind. And it takes a lot to shock me these days.
A California teacher has been barred by his school from giving students documents from American history that refer to God -- including the Declaration of Independence.
[...] Among the materials she has rejected, according to Williams, are excerpts from the Declaration of Independence, George Washington's journal, John Adams' diary, Samuel Adams' "The Rights of the Colonists" and William Penn's "The Frame of Government of Pennsylvania."
In 4th grade, we had to memorize the preamble to the Constitution and the first couple paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence. All this time, I never realized I was being subjected to inappropriate material.
