The Supreme Court itself has clearly acknowledged this.” Cortman also said that “[w]hen government officials ban the objective study of all religious texts, including the most important literary works of all time–such as the Bible, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Iliad, and the Odyssey–it only contributes to the further dumbing down of public school education. It’s no wonder that the call for school choice has become so popular.” ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/09/13/jordan-lorence-%e2%80%9cbanned-books%e2%80%9d-or-exaggerated-hype/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/15/oif-offers-assistance-to-libraries-receiving-adf-letters-on-meeting-room-policies/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/15/oif-offers-assistance-to-libraries-receiving-adf-letters-on-meeting-room-policies/#comments Tue, 15 Jun 2010 16:18:35 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=62995 OIF Blog (Office for Intellectual Freedom of the American Library Association): "The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a Christian legal organization, has initiated a letter-writing campaign to libraries and schools around the country.
