Quote:The judge did grant students permission to make the sign of the cross, wear religious garb or kneel to face Mecca. But that’s not good enough for some students at the high school.
You see, it's never enough. Their god has to be everywhere. The judge clearly made allowances for personal religious freedom.
I don't think this hurts the First Amendment at all. If a White Supremacists student demanded the right to say, "I hate niggers" under protection of the First Amendment it would not be tolerated at a school function. The same goes for other people's strong-held opinions/beliefs. What's good for one is good for everybody! Imagine if a Buddhist demanded prayers and offerings be represented in equal parts at his graduation. Eventually every absurd religious claim would have to be upheld to present a fair and unbiased graduation ceremony. The whole event would become a religious fiasco.
I fully support the judge's decision. Keep your religion personal .... the rest of us shouldn't have to fucking hear it!
