Tricia's Op-Ed Piece in the AJC

Tricia has a new op-ed piece in the AJC. In keeping with the July 4th spirit, she discusses all the implications of the term "God bless America."

After you've read that, read Mark Twain's essay/short story "The War Prayer," mentioned in Tricia's piece. Twain's essay is worth reading for anyone who has never done so. I teach it to my 7th graders every year, and it always suprises them and leads to great discussions. (Animated version, part 1 and part 2.)
