I Do Know That It's True That

In The Battle For Preserving Sound Social And Moral Norms, Many Religious Institutions Can No Longer Be Counted As Allies.

People Of Good Character Are Not All Going To Come Down On The Same Side Of Difficult Political And Social Issues. Good People - People Of Character And Moral Literacy - Can Be Conservative, And Good People Can Be Liberal. We Must Not Permit Our Disputes Over Thorny Political Questions To Obscure The Obligation We Have To Offer Instruction To All Our Young People In The Area In Which We Have, As A Society, Reached A Consensus: Namely, On The Importance Of Good Character, And Some Of Its Pervasive Particulars.

Our Common Language Is English. And Our Common Task Is To Ensure That Our Non-english-speaking Children Learn This Common Language.

It Is Ironic That Anyone Who Appeals To Religious Values Today Runs The Risk Of Being Called 'divisive' Or Attacked As An Enemy Of Pluralism.

The New Source Of Divisiveness Is The Assault Of Secularism On Religion.
