Subject: Why Are They Deleting Our
American History From School Textbooks?
This needs to be sent across this great land of ours; spread the news.
Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of the Declaration of
Independence were orthodox, deeply committed Christians? The other three
all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and
His personal intervention.
It is the same Congress that formed the
American Bible Society. Immediately after creating the Declaration of
Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import
20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.
Patrick Henry, who is called the
firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words,
"Give me liberty or give me death." But in current textbooks
the context of these words is deleted.
Here is what he actually said:
"An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But
we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides
over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not to the strong
alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price
of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course
others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me
death."'
These sentences have been erased from our textbooks.
Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote this
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great
Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on
religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone,
people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."
Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his
well-worn Bible: "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple
of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country
will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator "' He was also the
chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest
and most important role.
On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the
American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the
principles of civil government with the principles of
Christianity."'
Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this
truth when he wrote, "The foundations of our society and our
government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be
difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be
practically universal in our country."'
In 1782, The United States Congress voted this resolution: "The
Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for
use in all schools."'
William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was
used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million
copies sold until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him
the "Schoolmaster of the Nation."
Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: "The Christian religion is
the religion of our country. From it are derived our notions on the
character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its
doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions. From
no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred
Scriptures. From all these extracts from the Bible I make no
apology."'
Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly
Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636.
In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number 1 was that
students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could
study the scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and
earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies
is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and
therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation for our children to
follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments?
James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United
States, said this: "We have staked the whole future of our new
nation not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the
future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of
ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the
Ten Commandments."
Today, we are asking God to bless America. But, how can He bless a
Nation that has departed so far from Him? Prior to Sept. 11, He was not
welcome in America. Most of what you read in this article has been
erased from our textbooks. Revisionists have rewritten history to remove
the truth about our country's Christian roots. You are encouraged to
share with this others so that the truth of our nation's history will be
told.
