I wish I could feel like that. I am just feeling anger.
“But they are influencing young children. If they want to promote atheism, then Christians can promote Christianity.”
Doesn’t the story say that is exactly what happened? The Christians got to give the kids Bibles, so the school district had to allow the atheists to present their materials too.
It’s got to be one of the other. Either any religion/ideology can promote themselves on the school grounds, or none of them can. If the government starts picking which religion they want to allow, that is when I get worried. I do not trust the government to make the correct choice in those matters.
You know who atheists remind me of? That person everyone knows who says the are “so over” their ex, yet they can’t stop talking about them.
Did you read the article?
It was the school board which decided that Christian groups could come into the school and give out Bibles to the students. It was only in response to that program that the Atheists demanded, and got, equal time.
“Many people have expressed concern at FFRF’s literature, arguing that the graphic, insulting material is inappropriate in a public school setting.
“The Christians wanted to only distribute Bibles to those who wanted them—not force them on anyone, not bash other religions,” one commenter noted. “… Then the atheists got involved, and they wanted to distribute material, not to promote atheism, but to denigrate Christianity and religion in general. They are not content with presenting their belief system, they have to tear down others belief systems.””
I would love to see FFR try to stop schools from promoting islam. Seems they only want to stop Christianity.
Public School Promotes 5 Pillars of Islam

So can we distribute Bibles then too?
God will have the vengeance, for sure.
**But they are influencing young children.**
Another Reason to Homeschool
ARTH
Absolutely. Glad my kids are grown. Public schools have become evil.
They’ll probably chuck the stuff straight into the nearest dumpster. Kids never read stuff they get at school unless there’s a grade involved.
where on Earth do these jackass judges come from and where do they get the authority to do about 2/3 of the trash that they do????
Good point.
Wow. I had no idea. Fitting, indeed.
Public schools are child abuse
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Why do they need to bring in outsiders to distribute the materials? Similar stuff (using much softer rhetoric) is woven into the curriculum already.
I see you are a relative newbie. Stuff like that doesn’t fly around here.....
I think he converted just for the jokes...
“What is an atheist?”
According to Psalm 14, the atheist is a FOOL!!!!
“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’.”
