"The Bible should always remain the principle text book in America's classrooms. Its morals are pure, its examples captivating and noble…the Bible will justly remain the standard of language as well as of faith."

That's a beautiful quote. I love the Bible.

But in a pluralistic society we can't force Christianity on unbelievers through our classrooms.

The goal of the founders was not “a pluralistic society.” It was a free republic. And the quotes I’m offering from those great men demonstrate their correct understooding of the only practical basis for self-government and true liberty.

Meaning: pluralistic = immoral, godless
