N.C. Cary Christian School : Slavery Wasn't So Bad

newsobserver.com Local & State

This is another troubling example of how the fundamentalist right can reduce "right" and "wrong," "truth" and "lies" to matters of mere "opinion."

The Cary Christian School in Cary, North Carolina is providing its students with a booklet that purports to show why slavery was sanctioned by the Bible, how slaves were really well treated and lived "comfortable lives," and that there are essentially two perspectives on slavery, a northern one and a southern one.

This is Red State thinking at its most fundamental.
