In fact, most folks who read above the fourth grade level may not encounter it unless they get bored enough to read their child’s new textbook. But when you do—and after you use your Brawny towels to wipe up the Dunkin Donuts coffee you’ve spilled on your Stainmaster carpet because you were laughing—you might reconsider the newest propaganda circulating among the “religious” right to justify the merging of (one) church and state in this country.

All that is very fine about Washington's bent towards secularism and
the Constitution, but it's good to remember that he was a member
of a white owning class patriarchy that owned slaves.
