Go to that link and watch the horribly biased local news report on this situation.
I am beginning to genuinely fear for this boys life, and the principles and teachers who are participating in the news circus are doing nothing more than trying to incite harm upon this brave boy.
If you dont think he is brave... then by all means stand up and do what he just did
Also, many of those christians say "if he doesnt want us to pray, then he doesnt have to pray." But that is NEVER true. Surely a Christian will see you, get offended that you didnt take your hat off or bow your head.
Apparently we atheists have the "choice" of not only being forced to participate (because if you walk out before and come back after, they will single you out as well), but we also have to close our eyes, remove our hats, and bow our heads. In other words, look exactly like we are praying.
Are we allowed to think "This is bullshit?" when tey are praying, or do we have to think respectful thoughts as well?
