Although Reverend King wished to be remembered for his pursuit of civil rights ''and how he took a stand for God''. Although King was a man who shaped tolerance and end injustice for the next generation, liberals hijacked his message and ignore his deep devotion to God and the justice He serves with His invisible hand. Reverend King believed that [[Faith|faith]] in God can overcome all challenges, but the NEA and its members choose to make King a godless icon, adrift from his spiritual foundations. | + | One poignant example of the atheism that the NEA has pushed into the public schools is their curriculum about [[Martin Luther King]].
