Some of the kids quoted are ones that I directly work with. I'm very proud.

That's what happens when you sincerely start asking "why".... you find God.

I'm surprized the ACLU hasn't shown up on the schools doorstep with a 'court order'.

On Dec. 7, young people decorated Christmas cards for residents at nursing homes.

Now, the group represents almost every Christian denomination - from Pentecosts to Catholics.

Wonder how the Jehovah's Witnesses students feel about the activities? : )

neo-traditionalists

Isn't that a neo-oxymoron?

The Supreme Court has already held that if a school opens its facilities for student groups, then religious student groups can use them, too. Schools can't discriminate based on viewpoint (i.e. allow one group to meet to discuss issues with students but not allow a group to do so because it's coming from a religious viewpoint.) Which just makes sense--if students voluntarily attend a religious meeting, that's not the school's doing, just like students can voluntarily attend a 4-H or French Club or whatever meeting.

The liberal educrats will be most disapointed that their brainwashing efforts are working.

"The Supreme Court has already held that if a school opens its facilities for student groups, then religious student groups can use them, too."

When has that ever stopped the ACLU that thinks laws are made to be 'written in the courts', and not the Legislature?

said Danny Huffman, an English teacher and an adult sponsor of the group since its inception in 1996.

Known to his Emmaus cult followers as "The Christian". :)

Since "separation of Chruch & State" can't be used, the ACLU will then claim that the presence of a Bible club in school is offensive to the vulnerable, at-risk kids.

They would probably sue to make the school provide 'sensitivity training' for them.

Every young generation likes to rebel against the older generation.

If the educrats running public education are liberal and anti-Christian then it would make sense that the younger generation might turn right and pro-Christian just to be rebellious.

"I'm a little creationist," Goodhart said. "Six days, 6,000 years ago."

Me too. Six days, ~4.5 billion years ago.

Good for us, all! in these kids.

God might be the answer to why? but not Why?

6000 years?

I've always speculated that the 6000 year figure wasn't representative of what we consider 'years', but is more representative of what 'God' would consider a year.

1 year could have easily equalled 1 million years, or more!
