Huckabee in Montana
He speaks at a fund-raiser for a Christian school and, naturally, touts the benefit of church schools.
Many public schools do not teach students where they came from and the basics of this country, Huckabee said. That means they often don't understand the basis of liberty and life provided for in the Declaration of Independence, he said.
When he was a student, things occurred in schools that don't happen in most mainstream schools today, he said: It was OK for kids to believe in God, they said the pledge of allegiance each day and prayed before lunch.
"I don't think that any kid really got warped from that," he said.

Oh Yea! Don't think seems to be the operative phrase.

Unless, of course, the government forced it down their throat. All the Hucksters out there still don't understand the issues behind it all and they still don't understand children in our public schools still pray, still say the Pledge and can still believe in the God of their choice. It is a great disservice to this nation and to our institutions for the Hucksters out there to spread the nonsense they spread.

Funny thing though, Mikey -- kids of your era and mine usually had at least a vague idea of what the Declaration of Independence was. My teachers didn't pick and choose what to teach us there. Of course, there's GeorgieBoy. Do we blame the public schools of Midland or a couple of private schools?
By the way, there was a lot of picking and not choosing in re sex education. Could that be why the drop out rate for pregnant girls seems to have been about the same as it is for the Texas polygamy bunch? Not to say it's not worse now. Maybe we really need to know where we came from.

My question is, is it Ok for them NOT to believe in God, or to believe in many gods?

Church schools are ok. Home schooling is even better in the eyes of the Rev. Governor!
