“[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin

 

 

"[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever.  But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with."

--Ronald Reagan

Send the ACLU a Christmas Card        By Anonymous

Here's a GREAT idea !  Have some fun and do something really worthwhile too!  Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD!

As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of
this holiday, we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN, card to
brighten up their nasty, dark, sad, little world.  Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it.

"There was a time when Thanksgiving meant an occasion for counting our blessings. But, now that we have so many blessings that previous generations could hardly have dreamed about, we take them all for granted and are much more likely to count our grievances and the ways in which others have been unfair to us." ---Thomas Sowell
