Default you're missing the point

Yes, he handed out other historical documents.

The point you are missing is the irreconcilable difference that exists between truth and post modern secularists desire to erase any and all references to God from the public. You simply can not accurately discuss the founding of the US, the precepts on which it was founded, and the precepts of freedom on which it was founded, void of God. It can't be done. That is, if you stay true to the thoughts of the founders and the documents on which these thoughts are expressed (the documents used by this particular teacher). But obviously, that hasn't prevented post modernists from trying.

According to our founders, our freedom comes not from government, but from God. That is a historical fact, whether you like it or not. Not teaching that fact as a part of a school curriculum is false. But since truth doesn't exist in post modern thinking, I suppose that explains in some measure why it wouldn't matter.
