Hehehe, I almost forgot that little thing in your banner there Darwin....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I thought so... 
Then again, it is illegal for an atheist to hold office in some states, so if nobody brings it to court, it might remain in effect indefinitely.

You would think having the police escort a "mixed race" person from the premises would expose the police, town and school to litigation.

Yep. We're not allowed to execute fuckwads just because they're fuckwads.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I live in the South and did not know this was going on and it's definitely not right. However you are being just like them for condemning the South as a whole. I've lived through the times when blacks and whites were keep separate, I've seen the progress that's been made. You have to realize it takes time for new generations to come about and correct things, the old has to die out and the new come in. Feelings and beliefs of hatred do not disappear over night, times are a changing, Thank God.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

The point is, however, that progress is clearly too slow in some places. Sure, it's not fair to classify all of the south this way, but I find myself doing it all of the time as an emotive release to cope with the fact that these problems seem to stem from a mindset that is only prevalent south of the Mason/Dixon.

That's bull my wife is from the North and I see people up there putting down blacks as much there as I do here, but I do not judge the North, I blame the individuals.

I thought you knew something about history, seems I was wrong.

I'm not saying there's not racism, but I would like you to point me to one instance of state sponsored segregation in the north.

Godschild, of course there's something wrong with the south; I'm guessing the segregated nature of this school wasn't secret, so the fact that it isn't a huge thing tells you 2 things:
1) The people near the school were fine with it
2) It's nothing big compared to the general fuck up that is the southern USA
