This country was founded on Christianity, and our students should be taught as such.' This statement is in direct contradiction to the mission statement of the Dover schools. "In partnership with family and community to educate students, we emphasize sound, basic skills and nurture the diverse needs of our students as they strive to become lifelong learners and contributing members of our global society.
The writer of the statement for Dover schools believes some of the students and/ or the students' parents do not wish to be taught about/ have their children taught about Christianity during school hours.
