[history]
Kindergartners and first-graders may not distribute to their classmates gifts that bear a religious message, according to a ruling by a federal appeals court.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled in favor of a New Jersey elementary school in forbidding a boy from giving out pencils with the message "Jesus loves the little children" with a heart symbol substituted for the word love.

Hey, our Founders are who they were and were probably mostly men of the Christian Faith. We can't change that. I doubt they purposely intended to insult anyone, but, despite (or perhaps because of) their faith in the Judeo-Christian God, they did manage to establish a Constitution and Bill of Rights guaranteeing ALL of us certain freedoms including freedom of religion and freedom of speech while prohibiting the government the power to restrict or deprive us of same. If that is ... offensive or insulting to some --- well, I just do not know what to say. I guess there was no constitutional provision to protect us from being insulted or offended.Seems like Mr. Robinson's stand is that Mr. Moore's statue is constitutional and so would the display of an Islamic statue in a court room.
There is consistency there. Your planet seems devoid of consistency or logic. I continue to question if you're a joker or not because it's more disturbing to consider the possibility that you're not.

The "lead" in the Mo'ham', peace be onto him, "Islam means peace" pencils could contain explosive black powder. Mein Koran's surahs (verses) command muslims to kill infedels, men, women, and children, wherever they can be found.
Our schools are weapon free zones.
Better not sharpen pencils, as they could then be used as weapons in the "zero tolerance" schools.
I have been wondering about expulsion of children making finger pencils.
Non-Christians seem to hate the enviable happiness of Christians. We are witnessing a time of PC purges.
Prayer. 10 Commandments book covers. Bibles. Printed clothing. Jesus Pencils. Jewelry. (Crosses really look like prohibited swords and knives.)
