Does this Mean the U.S. Still Belongs to England?

Reuter’s Dan Whitcomb reports a California teacher has been barred by his school from giving students documents from American history that refer to God -- including the Declaration of Independence.
Steven Williams, a fifth-grade teacher at Stevens Creek School in the San Francisco Bay area suburb of Cupertino, sued for discrimination on Monday, claiming he had been singled out for censorship by principal Patricia Vidmar because he is a Christian.

Williams asserts in the lawsuit that since May he has been required to submit all of his lesson plans and supplemental handouts to Vidmar for approval, and that the principal will not permit him to use any that contain references to God or Christianity.

Among the materials she has rejected, according to Williams, are excerpts from the Declaration of Independence, George Washington's journal, John Adams' diary, Samuel Adams' "The Rights of the Colonists" and William Penn's "The Frame of Government of Pennsylvania."
It’s unbridled, ill conceived, irrational, blind activism such as this that gives the other 3% of liberals a bad name.

This is not real. If you did any sort of fact checking, like look at the article comments, you would know it is a satire.

Is anybody else having deja vu?
