Ariz. Public Charter School Must Stop Promoting Religion In Government Classes, Americans United Say [View all]

An Arizona public charter school violated the First Amendment when it assigned a textbook that promotes religion to students in government classes, Americans United for Separation of Church and State says.

In a letter sent today to officials at Heritage Academy in Mesa, Americans United explains that a text used in the school’s mandatory senior government/U.S. Constitution class teaches students religious beliefs such as divine creation of all things, divine judgment after death and the Ten Commandments.

The Koch bros and Heritage and so on want all schools to be indoctrination centers for their warped, sick version of Christianity.

Public schools are a great threat to their agenda.
