Gee, with such tolerant perspectives on the most sacred traditions of this country (from the very same people who preach unlimited tolerance towards Islam) one wonders why the Christian community would feel so paranoid and defensive ... :rolleyes:

It appears that a PRC school has banned the Declaration of Independence[^] from the classroom. A California teacher has been barred by his school from giving students documents from American history that refer to God -- including the Declaration of Independence.

Which brings us to the real meaning of Thanksgiving! Stan Shannon wrote: they abandoned the original compact Bradford allowed the people to own their own land and do the best they could. Next thing you know they have an abundance. Hence the original Thanksgiving...the free market and capitolism...and thanking God! The original proclomation from George Washington: Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor -- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness." Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be -- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks -- for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation -- for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the tranquility [sic], union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed -- for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted -- for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions -- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually -- to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed -- to protect and guide all

As a libertarian I oppose any kind of suppression of written material. This is PC revisionism at it's worst.
