Any opinion piece that mentions Estes Kefauver needs to be read especially when it looks at the Right’s politicization of religious beliefs.
They [Republicans] claim their goal is to better our education system, and to give us more freedom of religious thought in the bargain. But it seems to me they’re taking away the individualist liberties we’ve always prized and giving us more government regulation instead.
I fear that these bills, written to give us what they think we want, will have the opposite effect. By legislating our Christianity, what they’re really doing is taking it away from us.
Trivia: Kefauver is the only man to defeat John F. Kennedy in an election, the Democratic nomination for Vice President in 1956.
From MJ: Gloomy skies and a foul stench in the air in Rehoboth today. Must mean that the State GOP is in town for their convention.
