That the country operates on a principle of the seperation of church and state is a given. However, some jackasses seem to think that seperation means suppression. At least that’s the only explanation I can think of for this piece of crap:
A group of parents has obtained a temporary restraining order allowing their children, who are students in the Katy Independent School District, to take religious-themed valentines to school Tuesday. . . .the school has banned religious items from classrooms. The parents also filed a lawsuit claiming their children are subject to censorship and ridicule whenever they they talk about faith and religion in class.
Specifically, the suit alleges children were prohibited from drawing “religious images” in an art fundraiser, mentioning Jesus in a class discussion on Easter and handing out faith bracelets during recess. It specifically cites the alleged practices at Pattison Elementary School, and names the principal and a teacher.
(empahsis added)
How the holy hell do you have a serious discussion of Easter without Jesus?!?!? I mean, seriously, I figure the kids probably oversold their religion and got on someone’s nerves but ask yourself, what if they were as fanatic about drag racing? Would that subject be banned? Next thing you know, they’ll ban discussion of Christ at *****mas!
Hey, WTF? I said *****mas. What? *****mas! *****mas! Is the KISD running this blog? I can say *****mas if I want to ***dammit!
Well, fudge.
But don’t forget to understand and respect the Religion of Peace(tm), ‘cuz those mother-fuckers will burn your embassy down if you don’t. *****ians are too civilized for that sort of nonsense.
Edit: something I just realized: “. . to take religious-themed valentines. . .” Uh, they can’t even name the religion? Look at it again. If they didn’t say “Jesus” you wouldn’t know what religion is under discussion. The religion is unnamed; the word “Christian” does not appear anywhere in the article!
