I just got this letter today, about a story I wrote in June. Little does this reader know how relevant the comments are—I have a feature due out tomorrow that revisits the separation of church and state problems over in the Lake Washington School District.

I just finished reading your article Separation Anxiety.

I was surprised to read how obviously intolerant you are towards Christians and the church. “Herbert, however, taking a page out of the Christian right’s persecution complex handbook,â€� That is a ridiculous statement. You seemed to neglect telling your readers that Kevin Teeley is a homosexual. Don’t you think that he may have an obvious bias towards the church? Wouldn’t that be the real reason he wants the church out of the school?

It’s sad that the liberal media influences society so much.

I had the pleasure of replying. We’ll see if I get a reponse…

You got me: I’m intolerant toward Christians who use their personal religious beliefs to try and influence politics and public life. Keep it in the church, please.
