OH, DEAR LORD…

From Fox News…Students Free to Thank Anybody, Except God:

ANNAPOLIS, Md. � Maryland public school students are free to thank anyone they want while learning about the 17th century celebration of Thanksgiving � as long as it’s not God.

And that is how it should be, administrators say.

Young students across the state read stories about the Pilgrims and Native Americans, simulate Mayflower voyages, hold mock feasts and learn about the famous meal that temporarily allied two very different groups.

But what teachers don’t mention when they describe the feast is that the Pilgrims not only thanked the Native Americans for their peaceful three-day indulgence, but repeatedly thanked God.

“We teach about Thanksgiving from a purely historical perspective, not from a religious perspective,” said Charles Ridgell, St. Mary’s (ahem!) County Public Schools curriculum and instruction director.

School administrators statewide agree, saying religion never coincides with how they teach Thanksgiving to students…

Have mercy on their p.c.-addled souls.
