During an April 29 program presented by Americans United for Separation of Church & State and The Peace Education & Action Center, an awarding-winning documentary, The Revisionaries, will be shown at Sarasota's Fogartyville, located at 525 Kumquat Court in Sarasota, organizers have announced. The free event will be co-sponsored by the Sarasota chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Religious Tolerance and the Humanists of Sarasota Bay, a news release says. "The Revisionaries showcases how public education has become the latest battleground" amid a new wave of cultural, religious and ideological class warfare, the release adds. It highlights how tactics used in that fight have led to the "rewriting [of] key tenets of U.S. democracy and are affecting educational pol- icy at the national level for generations to come," the release notes. The documentary won the Special Jury Award at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2012. The show- ing will begin at 6 p.m. on April 29.
