He is obviously taking three references to God and placing them in such a way as to promote religion in the classroom. He is pushin it and he shouldn’t be, not in school.
Nobody should be preaching in school on any subject, whether it be lifestyle, green spirtuality or whatever.
What if instead he had put three sentences up on the wall that read, It is a gay day, The weather outside was so nice it made him feel gay or The happiest word in the dictionary is gay.
Would anyone believe this was just an English lesson?
Putting up the three references to God as this guy did makes it a religious lesson. This not a test about what is on our coins and national slogans. He is pushing religion in the classroom. That is too obvious.
You should win a booby prize for the most liberal post of the day.
Indeed it is pushing it. But does not our national motto push it?
Do not the preambles to every state constitution push it?
Our Constitution guarantees freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.
As to the statements about being gay, I don’t know the last time you visited a public school classroom, but that sort of thing can be prevalent. At least here in California. A counselor’s office I visited had gay pride pics, rainbow flags, trans-sexual art prints, “gay friendly” stickers, etc. etc. etc. I wrote a letter of complaint.
So the problem is, you can have Che Guevara on your wall, or Harvey Milk, or eco-terrorist junk, or Freudian philosophy, or Kwanzaa posters - there’s only ONE THING you can’t have -
that would be anything Christian in nature.
Which is wrong.
If there can be NO promotion of anything, then they must take down Earth Day, Cesar Chavez, Kwanzaa, Solstice, and everything else.
And if you have no point of view in a textbook, really picky picky NO point of view - you have no textbook.
