“ The evil that has resulted from the error of the schools, in teaching natural philosophy as an accomplishment only, has been that of generating in the pupils a species of atheism. Instead of looking through the works of creation to the Creator himself, they stop short, and employ the knowledge they acquire to create doubts of his existence. They labour with studied ingenuity to ascribe.., and jump over all the rest by saying, that matter is eternal.”: The Existence of God--1810 Thomas Paine
Next time it happens, I'm going to video it and post it up online. I'm sick of them violating my first ammendment rights. Its a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION. Especially when the information I spread is NOT abusive, IS NOT disruptive, IS NOT spam
As a 5th grade teacher the most important thing I can instill in students: "little voices" make dramatic impacts on events. That's Paine's greatest gift to our country. His pamphlet ommon Sense, gave a vision to all colonists during great indecisive fear, 176 days before the Declaration. It still speaks to us today. Paine needs to be recognized as an intrical part of the American miracle.
