] curriculum.

] PRESS RELEASE (click here for printable copy)

] December 9, 2004
]
] As you may be aware, today the News and Observer
] published a rather negative article about Cary Christian
] School and our use of a small booklet supplement
] entitled, "Southern Slavery, As It Was". Within the
] article it stated, "the booklet has received criticism
] from a number of historians and that it has been pulled
] from publication because of faulty footnotes and citation
] errors."
]
] We were unaware of these findings and as a result have
] already pulled this booklet from our curriculum. Let us
] reiterate that it is always our goal in the secondary
] grades to present two sides of an argument. At no time
] has slavery ever been condoned in our curriculum. As Mr.
] Stephenson stated within the article, "Slavery is wrong,
] that's not debatable. The South was wrong about the
] slave trade."

] We apologize for this oversight and covet your prayers
] for our school.
