Many of the people that grew up to make this country great learned to read from the bible.
Their cohorts in Beijing would be so proud.........
Yah, the part the says "..or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..
We need to get rid of the federel statute allowing the ACLU to collect their fees from the government when they sue government entities. That would put a real hurt on their anti-American activities.
It really is time for Americans to rise up and take our country back while we still have a country to take back.
I suggest starting with the ACLU - those perfidious worms and destroyers of American culture and traditional values.
Need candidates that will speak to and support this.
Will everyone be okay with this when Muslim groups come in and hand out Korans to the children to take home?
Atheists and Dawkin’s book?
Catholics and a book on the Saints?
Last night and yesterday, we had an organization at our school called FUTURENOW (google it-futurenow.us)
Their goal: positive thinking, good choices and, prepare yourself, Christ! Yes! In a public school! With BIBLES to give away!
I know this may come as a shock that such would happen in a public school, but when you live in the Rural South, and I do mean RURAL South, you can have this sort of thing happen and not get the ACLU all bent out of shape.
There are some good things that happen in schools once and a while, and the ACLU needs to chill. You are not required to take a copy, but to be fair, there should be a Koran too, which you can pick up IF YOU CHOOSE. (I am not endorsing Islam, merely making a point)
We had “Young Life” when I was in high school (in the South). Looking back on it, I know it would not fly today, as they has access to the PA system, handed out flyers in class, used the locked bulletin boards for displays, etc.
If other religious groups asked for and were granted that kind of access today, a lot of people would come unglued.
I bet they’re allowed to pass out condoms.
Maybe.
Dunno.
What does that have to do with religion in schools and whether people would be okay with all religions having equal access?
They’d probably attempt top ban handing out copies of the U.S. Constitution, too.
Yankees and carpetbaggers are destroying the NC I grew up in.... Sigh.
Over-under on whether the district mandates the showing of Algore's 'proselytizing' pack of propaganda for the 'religion' of AGW?
The ACLU has twisted the words of seperation of religion and state. They need to be stopped. I wish the parents would take their schools back or their kids and grandkids will be knocking at their doors one of these days to arrest them. In a Hillary world, family loyalty doesn’t count. The opposite is true.
Actually having equal access to all religions would be an improvement on the current status. Today only one religion is allowed. Happens that that one allowable religion has no particular problem allowing access to other religions, so long as they aren't connected in any way with a particular document. Teacher has the kids pretend to be Muslims for a day, no prob. Somebody sings "Silent Night" in the gym and it's "Everybody out of the pool!!"
Even in Catholic School they just didn’t give out Bibles. I guess you could have gotten one from one of the Priests or Nuns, but most families had one on the coffee table anyway. Don’t non-Catholic families have Bibles and must receive free Bibles too. This socialistic environment is getting worse. Go out and buy a Bible for the family. That would seriously solve this problem.
At a school where I used to teach, the local ministerial alliance each year gave a personalized Bible to each graduating senior.
I never heard any complaints, but again, it was in the rural South...
