Absolutely horrible.

Note:

"The San Francisco-based Ninth U-S Circuit Court of Appeals says the Byron Unified School District was merely educating them about Islam."

Isn't it amazing that public schools in our contry are allowed to "educate" about Islam but can't have the slightest tinge of anything about Jesus? Not even Christmas carols, plays, or Nativity scenes?

Has the world gone mad or what?

Yes, it has. I believe events like these are what draw many of us to this thread. The very mention of Christ in public schools or prayers prior to a game are grounds for litigation. Unless we vote out these judges and politicians, the worst may very well be ahead.

Bibles taken from school children in Houston

Snip from May 2000 article: School officials were silent Tuesday about a federal lawsuit filed on behalf of three pupils, accusing the Willis school district of refusing to allow children to carry or read the Bible. The lawsuit, filed in Houston, alleges that a teacher at Lynn Lucas Middle School pulled two sisters from class after discovering that they were carrying Bibles and threatened to have them picked up by child-welfare authorities.

Another teacher told a pupil he was not allowed to read the Bible during free reading time and forced him to put it away, the lawsuit alleges. The boy also was required to remove a Ten Commandments book cover from another book, the lawsuit states.

It's all around us little jeremiah, and getting worse.
