Today I spent most of the afternoon at a television studio in Washington, DC. It was rehearsal day for the program "Everything you always wanted to know about separation of church and state ... but were afraid to ask!" One word comes to mind tonight ... excellent!
Everyone was mesmerized by the stories being told -- even the crew.
Everyday citizens talking about their battles to protect our Constitutional guarantee of church-state separation. The young high school student who took on an entire school administration over the fact that his history teacher was talking about the Bible, instead of history. Or the parents who wanted their children to learn science in their public school science classroom - not creationism.
A wife who wanted to honor the memory of her husband, who was killed in Afghanistan, by having the symbol of their faith included on his grave marker.
And a lawyer, challenging the display of a Ten Commandments monument on government property, who had all the windows in her home shot out.
If you have not yet reserved your seat for the simulcast, I urge you to do so today! It's a program you won't want to miss.
