SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE: Film / “In God We Teach”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP6B4gpgyRI&feature=player_detailpage
A film by Vic Losick, “In God We Teach” tells the story of a high school student who secretly recorded his history teacher in class, and accused him of proselytizing for Jesus. The teacher, in danger of losing his job strenuously denied it. The specifics of the controversy lead directly to the church & state arguments that are in the news this election year. With Stephen Colbert, Alan Dershowitz, Neil deGrasse Tyson and others.

  1. How unbiased of Losick to register the last word on the case by closing with Kate Smith’s rendition of “God Bless America.”

    As a side note, that song and even just its title phrase always calls to my mind the exasperated reply of Niels Bohr to Albert Einstein, “Stop telling God what to do!”
