Bring the children down to a level of the lowest street urchin without love of mother or father 12. Teach that the state has control over the children instead of the God given parents. Removal of good role model's. By excluding references and explanations of Christian motivation from those famous deeds of America's historical great men, children are robbed of those good role models. When those men are characterized as deists and profit seekers their motives are misrepresented to the children.
Children learn what they see.
What a shame that so many people teach or believe our founding fathers were deists and established this country for economic gain. What a shameful revision of history it is to call Patrick Henry a deist. He recorded for all history a denial of deism and his affirmation of Jesus Christ. Joseph Stalin said he didn't have to defeat us in gun warfare. He could do it through our children.
