Wow, talk about rants.

I'd be mis-schooling my children if I homeschooled them, that I'm =
corrupted by the Religious Right, and that I'm a frightening educator.=20
Donovan, please go take a valium and lie down. If you want to be =
respected for your arguments, you really must stop ranting and start =
making sense. This post does you intellectual injustice -- perhaps.=20
Best,

Tom,=20
Dale was just trying to prove his point about the public educational =
system not working when he said "Guess we should change the motto on our =
money: E Pluribus Unum". He was implying that it meant "In God We Trust" =
and not knowing that it meant .
He would also know that in 1863, US Treasury Secretary Chase approved =
the present motto, "In God We Trust" on the coin to show that The Union =
was "on the side of God" against slavery. It was not until the early =
1900's that religious protestants pushed to have them placed back on the =
coins. Theodore Roosevelt, President at the time, was opposed to idea =
because he believed it was blasphemous to put God's name on something =
that was a worldly good. "Out of many, one", is the meaning of the Latin =
words "E Pluribus Unum". It was created as part of the official Seal of =
the United States. It was created by John Adam and Thomas Jefferson in =
1776. The words "Out of many, one" symbolizes how the 13 colonies came =
together as one.
It was not until 1956, in order to show the communists whose' side God =
was on, that President Eisenhower signed into law the official motto of =
the United States being "In God We Trust" instead of "E Pluribus Unum".=20
So naturally, Dale being the way he is, believed that if "E Pluribus =
Unum" was the National Motto at one time, and "In God We Trust" being =
the National Motto later on, he assumed one meant the other.
This is precisely, why so many Americans are against the idea of =
funding Home School. Clearly, if Dale was home schooling his children he =
would be teaching them wrong information on such simple and basic =
information as I learned in 7th grade.=20
It also proves that Dale has been corrupted by the Religious Right in =
believing that the forefathers used God in the Constitution and were for =
the idea of God being the central theme of all America.
What is even more frightening is that Dale is an educator.
