Who?
Jane Kulp and ChristianTeacher.org. Jane is the site founder and the only other person listed is her son Reverend Andrew Kulp. The website is described as a resource for Christian teachers in a public school setting. On the home page of the site, the only way to contact the author (who is Jane Kulp - same author of the article) is by putting in your information and text and sending. There is no email address, local address, or phone number.
What?
The information is extremely biased towards the Christian faith. It also blames the teachers for not doing more, though their textbooks do not include information pretaining to their faith and they are not allowed to favor one faith over another. This text, to me, trys to play on the fire and brimstone of sermons - do this or you are not Christian enough and are a bad person opened to damnation. There is only one view point discussed and no offer for another. Though this website encourages teachers to evangalize in their classrooms, later it says that it is against Congressional policy and not to show preference - quite a contridiction. It also doesn't give teachers any idea how to do what they are asking them to do, just what not to do because it's against policy.
When?
It was created in 2002. One of the court cases linked to is from 1969, the other 2 are from articles 2002 on Christian based websites. All are still hot.
Where?
This is a .org, which means it's an organization
Why Here?
The easiest way to find this kind of information would be to go to the web. Otherwise you'd have to go to different pastors, preachers, teachers, school board members, and government officials to find out what is allowed, what is expected, and what actually happens in regards to teachers including Christianity studies in their classrooms. This site doesn't particularly suit anyones needs. It doesn't give enough information.
