Judges again think they know best. :( Seems to me a local school board ought to be able to teach kids the way THEY see fit, not according to a federal judge's opinions.

Good God, FReeper. This is the 21st century. We can't do anything without a judges approval. Wake up and smell the Cafe Ole!

Denote heavy sarcasm.

On the serious side, I completely agree with you. It seems best to leave it to local control. For parents and schools to decide.

"It seems best to leave it to local control."

This is not directed to you personally as the poster ....

WHY the "passive" language?

"It seems best ..." sounds like a sweet lil petite wallflower ... "awww ....."

We need to use positive active language as our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America was written --- ACTIVE and DIRECT!

It *IS* our duty, as American citizens, and as parents and ass neighbors to direct our own destiny and our neighborhood --- and stop forcibly if necessary any illegal and unconstitutional interdiction into our liberties by those who claim themselves our 'masters'!

Wake up and smell the Cafe Ole!

Uh... that's café au lait. It means "coffee with milk".

[T'wit]

>> Wake up and smell the Cafe Ole!

Cafe Ole! -- cafeteria where the bullfight spectators gather.
Oil of Au Lait - skin lotion used by the senoritas at the bullfight.
"Olay!" - traditional shout of approval by bullfight fans.
Ole - Farmer in Minnesota and Lena's boyfriend.*

(Ole and Lena got married. On their honeymoon trip they were nearing Minneapolis when Ole put his hand on Lena's knee. Giggling, Lena Said, "Ole, you can go farther if ya vant to"... so Ole drove to Duluth.)

[Notwithstanding]

C'est "cafe au lait", non?
