That’s a very good point! If the crucifix is prohibited, so should prayer rugs, etc. But that doesn’t make me a liar. It makes those in power hypocrites.
Oh, and one more thing. I enjoy conversing with fellow FReepers. As I noted in another post, sometimes I’ll even learn something new. But I won’t trade insults. So if you are moved to call me names again, I won’t respond. Life is too short for that.
In fact court decisions have ruled that school employees can not do any of those things since they are agents of the government. Students do not fall under those restrictions though some schools have applied them.
I retired from teaching 15 years ago largely over just this kind of argument. There is o place for Christians teachers in Public schools but they actively recruit alternate lifestyle employees and Muslims. Take your children out from these schools maybe you will still recognize them as your children in 10 or 20 years else you likely may still recognize them but be unable to socialize with them.
