A local paper reports that a drill at Burlington Township High School in New Jersey involved police portraying mock gunmen, described as "members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the 'New Crusaders' who don't believe in the separation of church and state." The fake gunmen were said to have been "seeking justice because the daughter of one [member] had been expelled for praying before class."

I was watching "Silent Hill" last night on cable, and loved the insane Christian group who were the bad guys.

Seriously, if you told the kids the muslims were coming to take hostages, the school would be burned down, and the principal would have his/her throat slit the next day. Might as well pick on Christians. At least people feel comfortable mocking us. Jesus said to be as harmless as doves, so it's a backhanded compliment really to single us out.

Only group that won’t retaliate.

[Cicero]

All very well, but this nonsense pervades the establishment culture. The FBI spends more time looking for “right-wing fundamentalist groups” than Muslim terrorists. Bill clinton got himself re-elected by blaming Christian militias for the OKC bombing.

Now they’re brainwashing the kids.

Schools have a certain obligation to teach the truth to kids.

I had a liberal cousin who recently told me “You’ve just GOT to see Al Gore’s movie. And there’s this other movie called Jesus Camp you need to see. Talk about scary!”

I guess she thought I was a liberal.

I told her plainly, “I don’t like left-wing propaganda.”

That ended the conversation.

That's like asking a whore on some street corner for a few pointers on moral behavior.

Hmmm ... maybe a good christian group could sue on discrimintation ... after all .... who was the last group to burn down and blow up elementary schools?

"members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the 'New Crusaders' who don't believe in the separation of church and state."

Oh, those wacky Swedish Lutherans are at it again. :0)

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

This being staged by the “Educational Terrorist” themselves. Doesn't surprise me.

[massgopguy]

How long before the NCAA tells Holy Cross to change its sports teams’ nickname?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Funny. I LOL’d.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Wow.....I’m speechless.....yet completely unsurprised...

“members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the ‘New Crusaders’ who don’t believe in the separation of church and state.”

Yea! Those two idiots that shot up Columbine were incensed at the lack of separation of church and state!(sarc)

I was watching "Silent Hill" last night on cable, and loved the insane Christian group who were the bad guys.

As a fan of Silent Hill the game series, that was one of the things about the movie that hacked me off about it. Rather than go the complete and more complex route about the Cult, its origins in Native American animism and Gnosticism, the divisions within the Cult itself, the symbology and prophecy associated with the Cult, they took the short, sloppy "Christians are bad" shortcut.

But aside from that, it's always a nice kick in the balls to see people not likely to engage in kidnapping and murder for their beliefs (Christians) portrayed as villains than those verifiably have been (Muslims, Marxists, Maoists).

[McCloud-Strife]

Yep, most terrorism against schools have been of the Christian variety. Like the "Christian" terrorists that butchered a couple hundred kids in Beslan, Russia.
Christianity, the one religion you can mock and deride with impunity.
Glenn beck is right, Political correctness is the greatest threat to freedom is this country.

or their college name? or they can’t play or make $ off sports?

I was tempted to laugh at first, but the more I think about this, the more serious the situation seems to me.

Using blatant scare tactics to push a political agenda on a captive audience of minors in the guise of a "hostage drill" is much, much worse than the usual leftist propaganda. This school is to the progressive movement what Vietnamese reeducation camps were to the communist movement, and it's all funded the forcible seizure of private property through taxes. That they even had the police involved reinforces the fact that this is tyranny, pure and simple.

One might argue that this is an innocent case of political correctness run amok, but the detail to which the "hostage takers'" motives were described suggests otherwise.

[so_real]

I’d be a liar if I said this didn’t burn my britches. The time to take public education out of secular progressive hands is long over due. I support privatizing education. It’s time to return competition, real competition, on the playing field.

[TBP]

Christians won’t complain, and if they do, we’ll sue tehm.

But the libs are afraid of Muslims, and besides they share a hatred of America.

[hardworking]

LOL

You sound like me whenever the L.A. times calls trying to sell me a subscription. I tell the caller that I have a rule of not contributing to any political party and since buying a subscription to the L.A. Times equates to making a political donation to the Democrat party I cannot subscribe. There is always silence on the other end of the line.

Up next: Quaker terrorists.
