More on Mr. WIlliams

If you want to find out more about the documents Mr. Williams was choosing to use in his class, you might want to visit this website. It goes through each of the documents in detail and points out how some of them are bogus and some of them are purposefully incomplete. The author also unpacks why this issue is important.
Mr. Williams' material has a strong bias towards promoting God, Religion and Christianity. Some of the material is bogus or dubious in origin. The material that can be sourced shows a complete disregard for providing young students a well rounded perspective on what the founders of the United States really thought, not just about God or religion, but also about how God or religion should interact with the business of Government. It tells me that the principal may indeed have had good justification for doing what she did.
I agree with this analysis. But the damage is done. Few will take the time to find out the truth of the matter, and those few who do, many will simply shrug and move on to the next liberal "atrocity."
