I recently posted about the Facebook group Put Christ Back Into Schools. I’ve taken the time to read commentary by supporters and to visit other sites with similar goals. I’ve come to think that we can divide these groups and their supporters into two categories.
- Those who genuinely misunderstand the U.S. legal position on prayer and Bible reading in public schools.
- Those who understand the U.S. legal position, but want to use the machinery of the state to advance their own cause.
In both cases I fear the end result is the spreading of misinformation. In this post I’m going to excerpt from publicly-available online postings to support the above. I’ll provide links, unless asked to remove them by the site maintainers, so that you can have them in full context. I don’t want to misrepresent anyone’s position on this issue, or to be guilty of spreading misinformation.
