It's well past time for liberalism to be declared a religion and
banned from public schools. Allowing Christians to be one of many
after-school groups induces hysteria not just because liberals hate
religion. It's because the public school is their temple. Children
must be taught to love Big Brother, welcoming him to take over our
schools, our bank accounts, our property, even our toilet bowls.
