The head of a national, Texas-based
pro-family group says a recent hostage drill
at a New Jersey high school, which portrayed
conservative Christians as terrorists, is
reflective of a dangerous philosophy that has
become prevalent in many parts of America,
where it is having negative effects on
education.
A local paper reports that a drill at
Burlington Township High School in New Jersey
involved police portraying mock gunmen,
described as "members of a right-wing
fundamentalist group called the 'New
Crusaders' who don't believe in the separation
of church and state." The fake gunmen
were said to have been "seeking justice
because the daughter of one [member] had been
expelled for praying before class."
Historian and constitutional expert David
Barton is president of WallBuilders, a
national pro-family organization that
distributes historical, legal, and statistical
information and helps citizens become active
in their local schools and communities. He
says the stereotyping used in the high
school's drill is an accurate indicator of
what is being taught in public schools in the
Northeast region of the country.
"It's been interesting to see the
indoctrination that goes on," Barton
notes, "where we've had in the same
region, even federal courts up in that same
area, say it's okay to start teaching second
graders about homosexuality and homosexual
'marriage.'"
