don't see why i should even read this article - the declaration came BEFORE the constitution and therefore cannot be judged on its terms.

What has that got to do with your interest in reading the article, if I may ask?

This doesn't stop liberal revisionists. Lenin/Trotsky style revisionism is what they do.

The real question is, is distributing the Declaration in school unconstitutional. Subversives like the ACLU would have you believ that it is. After all, look at the closing words: "And for support of this Declaration, with a frim reliance on Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

The article explains teh title.
A certain district in California has decided that reading the Dec of Independence is wrong due to it's references to God and religion.
Seems they think it is against seperation of church and state.
So in court it is being argued that they are censoring George Washington and history.

Time to impeach and remove a few of the leftist crankhead judges the liberals have depended upon for lo these too many years. Until activist judges are impeached and removed (proving the elected have the cajones to do what they are elected to do), this sort of crap will continue with the full blessing of the DNC because of the divisive value it holds for democrat power vacuum exploitation.

The Bible is pre-Constitution also, but it is unconstitutional to READ OR DISTRIBUTE it in public schools.

THAT is the issue; not whether the document itself is unconstittutional.

Sheesh.

Your incredulous words cut to the chase. This idiocy is insane. The bedrock of the Constitution. The bedrock of the Free World, banned!

"...the declaration came BEFORE the constitution and therefore cannot be judged on its terms."

Interesting point. But don't you see? The bedrock of the Free World need not be understood. It's more important not to offend athiests and satanics when Christians, muslims, and Jews mention a creator.
