- As we have seen, there are many such statements, but no public school teacher would ever — or should ever — get away with suggesting to fifth graders that these statements are any more representative of the wide diversity of beliefs held by the founders than are the Christianocentric statements wrenched out of context and selectively served up by Williams.
