This is VERY troubling. How will teachers respond to something that’s blatantly not true? It is NOT a misconception that the founders favored church/state separation.

High school teachers attending one of these trainings in South Florida were alarmed at the focus on “Christian and conservative ideology,” The Miami Herald reported last month. Training slides published by the newspaper include messages, for example, stating that it’s a misconception that “the Founders desired strict separation of church and state, and the Founders only wanted to protect freedom of worship.”

We need to speak loudly about the importance of church/state separation and the dangers of a Theocracy.

Both Jefferson and fellow Virginian James Madison felt that state support for a particular religion or for any religion was improper. They argued that compelling citizens to support through taxation a faith they did not follow violated their natural right to religious liberty. The two were aided in their fight for disestablishment by the Baptists, Presbyterians, Quakers, and other “dissenting” faiths of Anglican Virginia. The most famous use of the metaphor was by Thomas Jefferson in his 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association. In it, Jefferson declared that when the American people adopted the establishment clause they built a “wall of separation between the church and state.”

In addition, Madison became influential in writing an essay on the importance of the separation of church and state.
