The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Fuck this!

Quote:A new state law that took effect this month requires the message to be displayed in an area where students are "most likely" to see it, such as a cafeteria or entryway.


"In Baphomet We Trust", anyone?

If they do this in my school, it WILL be vandalized.  Namely by me.  This is absolutely outrageous.  Christians need to stop shoving their religion down everyone's throats.  This is appalling.

Hmmm...I predict a court challenge on the way. Agreed, this is outrageous.

The article claims that they want the motto displayed to 'inspire patriotism'.  Not fooling anyone.

But, Iggy, you aren't taking into account the source of the Constitution. Sure, the history books like to say that the Constitution was penned by a bunch of deists in Philadelphia in 1789. But that's just socialist propaganda. Consider the following photographic evidence:

Because it's the national motto (since the hoary days of the 1950s), this has a chance of sticking.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
