It has nothing to do with religion. Why is it that every thread is a religious one. It has to do with our nation's traditions and conventions, and political correctness which is substituted for clear thnking. Its thinking by recipe in a school.

Obviously, from what I wrote, you can see that I do not see it as a religious issue, neither did the men who minted the coin. I trust in God but I have learned to have little to do with organized religion and believe firmly in the 1st amendment that all americans should be free to chose how they want to relate to religion.

You want to substitute your political religious correctness for that of the school's political correctness. I simply want political correctness gone from the halls of education. There is something quite obscene about a publicly paid teacher or school administrator feeling that he needs to make his students into politically correct clones along "sensitive" liberal lines, thereby sending the message that it is fine to rewrite history.Historical revisionism is the mark of a totalitarian state.

So I advocate a modest proposal along the lines of Jonathan Swift's: brand his ass with: " In God We Trust" and see how he likes some of his own medicine.

Or if that gives you a problem, then we can arrange for his visit to a tattoo parlor for a kinder, gentler branding, in color.

E Pluribus Unum.

So long as the branded feller then gets to beat the brander to death with a Louisville Slugger. Because this is America, not some Islamofascist theocracy. We're civilized. We do not suggest multilating people because of their beliefs. People who do suggest such things are seriously Un American in the highest degree.
