'Lion, Witch and Wardrobe' blitz serves up message with Florida's blessing

-snip-

When you can combine the forces of Disney, the McDonald's Happy Meal and Gov. Jeb Bush in one tidy package — all of them working together to cram thinly veiled Christian theology down the gullets of Florida's schoolchildren — you've got yourself a hell of a plan.

This December, just in time for Christmas, the movie version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will be in theaters everywhere, much to the delight of Christian evangelicals, who see the children's tale as it was intended — a way to subtly introduce the Christ story to young people.

The C.S. Lewis allegory will also be in Florida classrooms everywhere, in book form, thanks to Gov. Bush, as part of Just Read, Florida!

Yes, of all the books the state might encourage children to read, Bush just so happened to pick the book that coincides with the Disney movie, which just so happens to be co-produced by Walden Media, which just so happens to be owned by a Colorado billionaire, who through his family and foundation has donated nearly $100,000 to the Republican party. But that's just the icing on the cake.

This is about the biggest Christian media event since The Passion of the Christ.

and there is this: " Evangelical churches are organizing group trips to theaters and generating discussion materials to be used by scout leaders and schoolteachers."

america's evangelical taliban in action.

let an evangelical get a toe in the door and you've been had.

this needs to be exposed for the crap that it is.

Fl. school children, already undertaught, will be screwed for life.

since when can a Gov. be in partnership with corps. to make money?
