And it doesn't discredit them about the situation in the article, but in my statement that they like to paint Christians as hypocrites. Clearly the teacher and the district supporting him are loose cannons. But the difference between Christians and ACLU/FFR is in that the Christian student, rather than getting a big, bullying legal organization to support him in forcing the school to bend to his will, did what anyone with a minority opinion and common sense should do- he stepped aside to let the majority do what they wished. Because in a free society, the majority should not have to bend to every whim of the minority. Government, as I've said before, should protect minorities not elevate them above the rest of society. ACLU/FFR, in attacking Christian causes, would have us believe otherwise. That Any one or two people should be able to bring a crashing halt to what everybody and anybody else wants. And THAT is why I brought ACLU/FFR into the lead.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-1651818012779535052012-02-15T20:04:50.360-05:002012-02-15T20:04:50.360-05:00This article neither discredits the ALCU nor the ...This article neither discredits the ALCU nor the FFRF. Nowhere in the above article does it mention any attempt by the student to contact the above mentioned organizations. If the student had I'm sure the ACLU would have stepped in on his behalf on what is clearly a direct violation of separation of church and state. This assumption is based on the ACLU doing so in similar cases in the past. Secular society doesn't have a vendetta against Christianity (no matter how much the right wing media would like to convince you otherwise). The fact of the matter is that this government has clear and reasonable rules as to how religion may play a part in society. Logical well reasoning people don't care what religion you choose to practice, just that you don't force those beliefs on other people or unduly influence those with impressionable minds. The public school system is one such place where the future of our society is most impressionable and therefore one of the most important places where we make sure that they are only being tought things that can be proven by evidence.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01098270701043463880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-34737760486818629092012-02-15T20:01:43.068-05:002012-02-15T20:01:43.068-05:00What's good for the goose is good for the gand...What's good for the goose is good for the gander............this really pisses me offJo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.com
