Ping!
Good Lord!!!! wait, can I say that?
I sometimes wonder if my response to these sorts of stories is best categorized as “fiddling while rome burns”.
I used to say that if it were not so serious it would be funny but I’ve gotten to the point where I think it’s funny anyway.
It’s like watching history happen before your very eyes.
Next year, when they hold the graduation in an un-airconditioned gym or parking lot, include the names of the plaintiffs prominently in the program. Heck, do it every year in perpetuity.
“This misery brought to you by ...”
Fine. Then keep your offended selves out of a privately funded property, and sweat your hairy ****** off.
There’s gratitude for ya.
Well, I’ll be flamed for this, but having the ceremony in the “religious part” (not sure what that is called in a Church) would result in Orthodox Jews, for example, not being able to attend the ceremony, in that the Torah forbids entry by Jewish people into the sanctuary of what Jews consider a false religion.
Now, would I have sued?
No, I would have explained to my very disappointed daughters (all of whom that reached such age being at the top of their class and gave a short speech) that they were out of luck and we’d go get their Diploma from the principal.
somehow exposing children to LGBT and sexual perversions doesn’t offend these people
I just wonder if there is some line that can/will be crossed that would get real action from the right?
Not only is the court wrong in the refusal to review the lower court’s ruling, it is STUPID. DUMB. MORONIC. IDIOTIC. ASSININE. I’m running out of adjectives. If the so-called “best” legal minds in the country can’t do any better than this, we are doomed.
Our high school was right across the road from our church. Lots of our teachers were members of the church and we often went to the church so we could take final exams in the AC.
Its unimaginable to me that anyone would be so offended by the venue of a HS graduation that they would take it all the way to the supreme court. IMO they were not offended, this suit was the result of hatred of Christianity.
Backing up a step, with much of the curriculum being taught in today’s public screwels, one may have a good argument that such in and of itself is in violation of the establishment clause.
Why don’t we just stop having High school graduation, give the parents their money back and tell them they can take their kids to a private school of their choice.
