Political Correctness

People, before us, have made greater sacrifices and done greater things then ALL of us today. ALL OF US. The lives of those people, you can't tell these stories any more in the schools today. It's not politically correct, to tell the stories of their lives.

Because not everyone believes in a creator at public schools. They have private schools for that.

My beliefs on religion is simple. The earth is a creation, and in order for there to be a creation there must be a Creator. Morality for me does not come from a Bible; it comes from the nature of the being I am Created. After all, HE Created us just as we are long before the Bible was created

How about George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the other Founding Fathers.

When I was a kid, we spoke about the Founders with reverence and respect.

These days we can't talk about them without bringing up the fact that they owned slaves or were in some other way flawed, and therefore less deserving of respect.

Does that serve as an appropriate example?

Why has it become necessary for us in this PC world to cut down these great men, and by extension the basic principals and concepts that they imbued into our nation's genesis?

Right, and not everyone believes in evolution, either.

Some schools are now considering to teach "Intelligent design" to explain all the things that science cannot and likely never will.
