Although liberal groups and even courts protect HIV and AIDS victims from having to divulge their condition on any records, for fear they might be denied public activity and employment, innocent school kids are scrubbed, fumigated, and isolated lest they spread the deadly virus of Christianity.
....Wade was given a fourth grade assignment to choose a “hero,” write a description of his hero and portray the chosen hero as part of a “live wax museum.” He would then give an oral report in front of the class.
When 9-year-old Wade chose Jesus as his hero, school officials immediately insisted that he pick someone else. When his parents objected, the school proposed a compromise: Wade could write an essay on Jesus, and even dress up like him for the “wax museum.” However, he’d have to present his oral report to his teacher in private, with no one else present, rather than in front of the classroom like the other students.
The message, to Wade and his fellow students? Jesus is not a worthy hero, and a kid who thinks he is should be ashamed and kept away from the other kids.
Like a leper. ....
George Washington appointed Christian chaplains and called for prayer on the battlefield of our Revolution, as well as frequently during his presidency. Thomas Jefferson and his Congress appropriated funds to pay missionaries to preach the gospel to the Indians. In 1863, President Lincoln called for a day of national prayer, and in 1944, Roosevelt declared a national day of prayer.

Without severance.
Blame George W. Bush!
oh, dear.
Never knew Pat Boone could write such an excellent article.
Jesus must be The Way, The Truth and The Life. Look at how the secular humanist are afraid of Him!
Boone is a latecomer to journalism, I believe.
Seems to me if your pushed ...
The school is prohibiting the “free excercise thereof”.
Wasn’t gonna do this, but...
Okay, how is this George Bushs fault?
Don’t you know EVERYTHING is Bush’s fault?
(Boone is a latecomer to journalism, I believe.)
Actually, he’s been writing it for awhile - always coherent and right on the mark. He’s very good.
It’s weird for me, as a music oriented person, that there are three (music) people out there today telling it like it is with everything they write. I support them strongly, don’t want them to ever stop because they do it so well, but I still don’t like their music. Pat Boone, Charlie Daniels, Ted Nugent. Read their stuff, they don’t ever miss the mark.
Pope Benedict’s fault.
Without severance.
did you write them a check to help cover legal expenses?
This is why the “end times” is called the Tribulation.
