Teaching the Bible in Public Schools?

One year ago was one of the worst days of my life. I was so full of hope and energy- finally, I thought, our first woman President! I had volunteered for the campaign and cast my vote. I thought I had done my part. This was a woman I was proud to vote for, despite her flaws, and couldn't wait to see her lead. You all know what happened next.

Unfortunately, this summer my unstoppable force met an unmovable object- Greek School.
