The Detroit News reports that the leader of a Michigan Atheist group opposed to the introduction of a Bible as Literature class in the Howell Michigan schools "
acknowledged Friday that she spread misinformation about the legality of the plan."
Seems that Ms. Arlene-Marie (her Legal name), had claimed that the Biblical text curriculum proposed for use had been declared unconstitutional in four other school districts, when in fact the curriculum had never received any complaints at all.
We're not talking about a Church being asked to send missionaries into the classroom - although given the state of most public education institutions I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to that - but a Biblical literacy program so that students can understand the Biblical references that abound in Western Culture. Who could possibly be opposed to that?
Well, the answer to that is the radicals who have hijacked the Atheist movement, that's who. The ultimate goal here is an increase in political power; remember what Gramsci said about the importance of undermining cultural heritage as a means of increasing the attractiveness of socialism?
