On PBS and Christian Nationalist Propaganda

Thanks to Bob Allen at Ethics Daily for providing additional background information about the film produced by Christian Reconstructionists that PBS has agreed to distribute. Here's a quote:

A press release on the PBS Web site describes the wall of church/state separation as a "metaphor deeply embedded in the American consciousness."

"But what would surprise most Americans is the discovery that this is not what the Founding Fathers intended when they established the nation and wrote the Constitution and Bill of Rights," the press release continues. "In fact, they had a radically different interpretation of the role of religion in state and federal governments."
Brick by brick, the wall separating church and state is being dismantled. When this is over, we will be retracing the steps of the brave new world of the 1650's.
