Let's not forget about the secular humanists that contributed to civil rights activism.

Here's the thing. Cases are built on precedents. If you make an exception 'because it's MLK and he was a minister', you open the door to other exceptions for events held by cities using a public school as a venue. Lots of American heroes were staunch Christians or made out to be so after they died. Why not a religious song and a little sermon when they're honored? Fundamentalists have repeatedly shown what they will do if given an inch. The FFRF can't afford to not sweat the small stuff when it comes to separation of religion and government.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Agreed and I'm posting this. Again.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I do like some gospel music. I hate contemporary gospel like Jars of Clay.
I like it when heathen motherfuckers like Billy Joe Shaver wax religious. The juxtaposition is too ironic:
Get Jesus then shoot a drunk in the face! Love it!
Then there is Mavis! Anybody have a problem with Mavis?:
