rosepetal, I have been hanging around reading and keeping quiet. Didn’t want to get on anyones nerves. You sure they want me? I sure would be happy to join!

barefootangel, where you been?  there is a new board started i want to invite you to join. its the old gang.

I guess you have to consider the source. I moved to NYC area several years ago and had never heard anyone but my father refer to Trent Spenda Lott as a fascist pig until I hung out in a Samuels’ knish bar on Houston street. That’s pronounced HOUSE TON.

Maybe the ACLU is trying to be more like Greenpeace.

I suppose we shall see who paid for and printed up the pamphlets mentioned in the complaint.

I was just referring to that case for the legal outcome which I felt was just.  I can’t vouch for everything that that firm stands for.  And as far as the NY Times being impartial, well we don’t all see them that way.  I feel they are quite liberal and they’ve even admitted they are biased on certain issues (read the “modern controversies” section on their Wikipedia article).  I read a lot of CNN and Fox, but I still filter it heavily and think to myself that every story can and does have some slant, bias or omitted information for one reason or another.  Journalism is a business and stories are usually told from a perspective to try and make them most interesting, not necessarily 100% accurate. Except for at WKRG that is

OHm it opened. I read it. Interesting. I also read some of the other things on their website. I’d rather get my info from a more impartial media outlet like NY Times, or national newpaper not in the South. The site you quoted is soooo one sided. I just can’t follow how some organization can say one form of abortion is all right and another is immoral.

OH that wouldn’t open. I believe that the problem is ongoing and the school board has ignored it.

I’m sure if we read all of the complaints filed by the ACLU regarding schools and “offended observers”, that every singe one of them paints the school like a Jim Jones cult.  When schools do have the funds to stand up against the ACLU and their gigantic bank role budget (from our tax money), that the schools can and do often win these cases. Here’s such a case. http://www.alliancedefensefund.org/news/pressrelease.aspx?cid=4462

I read some of the complaint.  Please don’t tell me you believe all of the information in a complaint when the other side has no opportunity to refute the claims.  Any lawyer can write this kind of stuff.  And just because it’s alleged doesn’t make it true.  But the point I made earlier wasn’t necessarily about this particular case as much as a general statement about the ACLU and their practice of extorting money by bullying and intimidating schools and organizations.

Read the complaint. It’s not a matter of one or two instances of this school district sanctioning prayer. It’s about the manner in which they have done it. The way they are doing it is not allowing freedom of religion. They have decided what goes into prayers, who will say them and how the students will respond. Read the complaint.

I do not think you want to get into the Ten Commandments on public property.
