Not with a bang but with a whimper

The bogus "teacher prevented from distributing the Declaration of Independence" story which received national attention last year for its claims of "religious discrimination" has quietly died. After a judge had previously dismissed all but one of the claims in the lawsuit filed by the right-wing outfit representing/using the teacher, they have now withdrawn the remaining claim, proving without a shadow of a doubt that the entire claim of discrimination, and the story which went along with it (that the teacher was just "teaching history" and not trying to proslytize his students), was complete and utter nonsense. Not that that prevented the story from garnering national attention, thanks to the right-wing noise machine.
