more persecution in our schools

maryland public schools are not allowing teachers to teach the truth of historical events in which whole communities existed primarily to worship and serve god!

"Teaching about a secular Thanksgiving counters the holiday's original premise as stated by George Washington in his Thanksgiving Day proclamation: "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."

Such omissions also deny the Pilgrims' religious fervor in the celebration of Thanksgiving, as related by Harry Hornblower, an archaeologist who spent years researching the history of the holiday.

According to the Web site Plimoth.org, dedicated to Mr. Hornblower's research, the Pilgrims, "fell upon their knees and blessed the God of heaven who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean."Thanksgiving, the site said, derived from their belief that "a series of misfortunes meant that God was displeased, and the people should both search for the cause and humble themselves before him. Good fortune, on the other hand, was a sign of God's mercy and compassion, and therefore he should be thanked and praised.""

amen! and thanks to grumpy old man!
