State Superintendent of Education Ellen Weaver knew she would be in for a ferocious legal fight.  Last month, without Republican opposition, she pushed through her autocratic proposal to control what books and educational materials are permitted in South Carolina public schools. She kicked aside local school boards and librarians, preferring to empower herself and allied parents whose agenda is indoctrination, not education. Her proposal, is riddled with legal problems.

A foreshortened dove soars to us, wings outstretched. The pure white bird has dipped down to clear the trees, or perhaps has just condensed from cloud. Moving or frozen in space, the bird is perfectly centered above a hand holding a clamshell, gently pouring water. It is the embodiment of the Holy Spirit and is with you to witness the exact moment of “The Baptism of Christ.” The Baptist, set in profile, posed with left foot back, left arm bent, stable, balanced, will not waste a drop of holy water.
