Mother sues to stop Bible classes in West Virginia schools

[Airstrip One]

You don't know much about law, do you? SCOTUS rarely over rules itself. Religion in schools ain't gonna be one of those.

Which is terrible law, because it relies on feelings rather than, say, actual legal precepts. That being said, the current lunatic in the White House is blowing-up customs all over the place.

what is the involvement and administration of the District......you mean asking parents to choose if they want their kids to go or not?....my guess is, mommy is pissed because her five year old wants to go where his friends are going......

They developed curriculum and provided a class room.

You're just not that bright, are you?

 

[Timshel]

Yep. They can have organized meetings. Classes are a different animal.

So long as it is student lead.

Correct

If the US Constitution says one thing, and a 70-year-old precedent says something else, which should influence a SCOTUS ruling in 2017?

 

[Timshel]

if it's non-grade i don't see any difference other then semantics

This is alot different. Teachers are involved and giving students instruction on the proper interpretation of the bible.

It's a sanctioned class, moron. Grade or not.

What are you afraid of, pussy? Scared of competition.

They are protective of their own attempts at indoctrination of school kids with their world view.

And they use the First Amendment for cover.

Huh? What competition? These schools are pushing a very sectarian religion by giving instruction on the proper interpretation of the bible. It's obviously not neutral and they are going to lose, if for that alone.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

I can't believe there are still places that do this. This is something for the parents to handle, not the schools.

Bullshit. That has no place in a public school. I went through that when I was in school. I know what it's like to be ostracized cause you don't belong to a particular religion.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Who wants to bet Koran study would have slipped under the radar?

I have no problem with that or the Bible of the Bhagavd Gita being taught in a comparative religion class but there should be no formal or compulsory religion classes in any public school. I don't care what the religion is. If you had my experience of being one of the few Methodist in a overwhelmingly community where Catholicism, to the exclusion of any other religion, was openly taught and those who were not Catholic were openly derided. Screw that crap. It has no place in our public schools.

Stick to bagging dogshit, moron. At least it's something you know.

I missed that.. yes it does change things. can't do that

Since then, the county Board of Education has administered it with standard curriculum that includes teaching creationism.

Feelings?

You don't know what he word means? Competition as in an opposing view to what the evolution dumbasses want to have as a monopoly taught to kids.

I know how to do to your wife what you couldn't ever do for her.

lol

What do you call adhering to a previous ruling, out of custom, because it would feel bad to violate custom?

Custom? How fucking old are you, moron? 8?
