The NorthWest Ordinance
Here is today's Truth for Patriots with Founder Tom Evans...
The NorthWest Ordinance is considered one of the 4 most significant founding government instruments, along with the Declaration, Constitution, and Articles of Confederation. It describes the requirements for statehood of prospective territories.
Interestingly, Congress re-ratified the Ordinace on September 9, 1789, the same day that they approved the wording for the 1st Amendment. Now consider Article III of the Ordinance:
“Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.”
So on the same day Our Founders supposedly created “Separation of Church & State”, they were legislating the teaching of Christianity in schools! Don’t believe the lie of Separation!
