I’m not sure the source on this, but I have heard that in “holiday pageants” at some public schools, they MUST sing Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and other religious songs, but Christian Christmas carols are VERBOTEN. (You can sing about Santa Claus, but anything mentioning Jesus’ birth is out).

Have you heard about this?

The ACLU is nuts. The organization as a whole does a lot of good but a lot of bad too. They need to clean out the communuts as bad as the right, no offense, needs to clean out the wingnuts. Cheers!

I didn’t say I wanted a “religion” class, but if you’re going to exclude one from class teachings, exclude them all.

We had some schools here in Oklahoma that wanted to have a class that actually required memorization of verses from the Koran, as well as lessons on how to dress etc.

You have children sent home for wearing crosses as jewelry or on t-shirts, yet we’re allowing children to wear the symbols of their muslim faith for fear of being sued for religious discrimination.

While I may not want to have the “Christian Faith” preached in a classroom, don’t you find it a BIT odd that “The Religion of Peace” (bent on being THE only religion), is being protected in our schools and work places, while we’re all but crapping on Christianity.

You want Religion to be taught in school. Religious teachings and Biblical passages are interpreted differently from one person or one church to another. A very dedicated Christian may use their relationship with God to understand that they have dominance over the animals therefore hunting is an acceptable practice,others may see hunting as cruel based on the same religious beliefs. I feel that a childs religious studies should be done in the presence of their family and church. That will ensure there is no confusion.

When is the ACLU going to stop? Does anyone else think this is absolutely absurd? This is a definite threat to our country as we know it. Isn’t there anything we can do to fight back against the ACLU?
