Celebs to kids: America stinks!
"'The People Speak' as an effort to promote 'Marxist academic Howard Zinn's capitalism-bashing, America-dissing, grievance-mongering history textbook, 'A People's History of the United States.' … Zinn's work is a self-proclaimed 'biased account
' of American history that rails against white oppressors, the free market and the military.'"
The first two pages of Zinn's book demonstrate why Malkin and other critics might judge "A People's History of the United States" as inherently socialist propaganda:

Jimmy Carter: Abuse of Women? Blame the Catholics and Southern Baptists
"In an address to a gathering sponsored by the World Parliament of Religions (PWR) last Friday, former US President Jimmy Carter has once again blamed traditional religion, particularly Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics, for 'creating an environment where violations against women are justified.'
...Carter appeals to his authority as someone who has 'taught Bible lessons for more than 65 years.'
In opposition to the vast majority of authentic scholars and historians, Carter asserted: 'It's clear that during the early Christian era women served as deacons, priests, bishops, apostles, teachers and prophets.' He added: 'It wasn't until the 4th century or the 3rd at the earliest that dominant Christian leaders, all men, twisted and distorted Holy Scriptures to perpetuate their ascendant position within the religious hierarchy.'
Contrary to the theorizing of Carter, Pope John Paul II taught, 'The Lord Jesus chose men to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry.' He added: 'the Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible.' (Catechism of the Catholic Church; 1577)
Carter singled out the Southern Baptist Convention and Roman Catholic Church, claiming that they 'view that the Almighty considers women to be inferior to men.' However, both Christian faiths hold to the Scriptural truth that God created men and women equal.
Carter suggests that only in permitting women to become priests and pastors could male religious leaders choose to interpret teachings to exalt rather than subjugate women. 'They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter, subjugation,' he said.
'Their continuing choice provides a foundation or justification for much of the pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world,' said Carter. Carter goes on to list horrific violations against women such as rape, genital mutilation, abortion of female embryos and spousal battery.
Responding to Carter's nearly identical points in July, John Paul Meenan, Professor of Theology at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy in Barry's Bay, Ontario characterized Carter's points as 'ridiculous,' noting that there was no evidence of the ordination of women in the early Church.
Moreover, Meenan stressed that historically Christianity ought to be credited for promoting the dignity of women. 'It is the Church that invariably improved the lot of women in the lands that were converted and Christianized,' he said."

Lesbian awarded custody of Christian's only child
"A Vermont court ordered a Christian child taken away from her mother and given to a lesbian ex-partner, setting up, according to a lawyer for the Christian family, a dispute that the U.S. Supreme Court likely will have to resolve."
Liberty Counsel said, "Unrefuted testimony has shown that for the last five years, Janet has neither attempted to phone nor write Isabella. She has never sent Isabella a card of any kind for any occasion. Janet has refused to attend Isabella's Christmas plays because she does not want to be around a Christian environment. She has also said that it is not in Isabella's best interest to be raised in a Christian home."
