Declaration of Independence banned at California school – More Christian Right propaganda timed just right for family holiday gatherings.

I was just reading the FARK thread on this, and, admittedly, it is a skewed sample (i.e. idiots), but there were quite a lot of angry people who tended to believe the teacher, especially with this being in California. Makes you ask yourself, are people really that eager to believe that a school would ban the teaching of the Declaration of Independence? That is just so…amazingly non-sensical. I mean, take all of your wacky prejudices against California and throw them in a stew with a couple extra cups of crazy, stir to a boil, and I still don’t see how you could possibly believe that a public school would ban the teaching of the founding document of our country.
So of course it is a lie, and I will continue to maintain that until proven otherwise, clearly and conclusively. Because I like to subscribe to logic, rather than stupidity.

Declaration Of Independence banned!
The seemingly preposterous headline made major waves on the conservative Drudge Report and Fox News network Wednesday, joining Reuters and the Associated Press, in a misleading story that exhibited serious reportorial negligence, RAW STORY has learned.

While I appreciate the Blue Lemur story, it bashes everyone else for shoddy reporting but still provides *no* facts about the actual circumstances or any backup for its headline.
