Wow, this is 2004. I really should stop being shocked by these things, ya know.
School Defends Slavery Booklet
Leaders at Cary Christian School say they are not condoning slavery by using 'Southern Slavery, As It Was,' a booklet that attempts to provide a biblical justification for slavery and asserts that slaves weren't treated as badly as people think.
Principal Larry Stephenson said the school is only exposing students to different ideas, such as how the South justified slavery. He said the booklet is used because it is hard to find writings that are both sympathetic to the South and explore what the Bible says about slavery.
Next up, what the Bible has to say about shutting menstruating women in mud huts.
Apparently, because of the media exposure the book has now been dropped. But what else is on their bookshelves, I wonder?
