Separation of church and state is the big club pulled out to beat back the Christians .

It is interesting to note that during the last ten years Washington's 'Farewell Address' has begun to reappear in college textbooks - minus the four religious warnings.

In the case Stone v. Graham, the Supreme Court ruled that - under 'separation of church and state' - it was unconstitutional for a student in school to even see a copy of the Ten Commandments.

Literacy is part of everyday social practice - it mediates all aspects of everyday life. Literacy is always part of something else - we are always doing something with it. Its what we choose to do with it that is important. There are a range of contemporary literacies available to us - while print literacy was the first mass media, it is now one of the mass media.

The Founders never intended to separate Christianity from government, only to keep a single denomination from running the nation.

There should be absolutely no 'Separation of Church and State' in America.

Recent decades clearly demonstrate that the more secular our Public Schools become the less successful they become academically.
