Explaining why it is Maryland school students will be taught about the first Thanksgiving without reference to the fact that it was God the Pilgrims were thanking, the St. Mary's County Public School curriculum director said, "We teach about Thanksgiving from a purely historical perspective, not from a religious perspective." (according to this Fox News story)
An historical perspective? What sort of historical perspective leaves Christianity out the story of the Pilgrims?
From the Maryland State song:
The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore,
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland! My Maryland!
