“For God to be kept out of the classroom or out of America's public debate by nervous school administrators or overcautious politicians serves no one's interests.

The price of that sort of quarantine, at a time of moral dislocation, is - and has been - far too high.” PeopleHas BeensCountryWholeSchoolChristianAmericaNationsInterestReligiousMoralRichPoliticianBoundsDrawingDebateNervousGuidanceRealmsReasoningHeritageClassroomDiverseDiscourseRestrictionTheologicalDegradeAdministratorsQuarantineDislocation Author:Nancy Gibbs
