it violates the school's policy against profane or obscene language.

Obscene language? Where? ......although it's a safe bet that the school considers the word 'God' obscene.

Yes. Any institution run by the government is bound by the same rules the government is bound by. Otherwise, the government could evade any restriction upon it simply by delegating a power to an institution specifically created to abuse it!

Anyway... government schools are bound by the First Amendment. No law against the exercise of free speech is valid - they cannot use the content of the message to determine whether or not it can be displayed/worn.

A private school could do the same thing this public school did, and it would be legal. A public school cannot.

"Lewis Grizzard"

There's a name that I haven't seen in a long time. Did we really slip THAT far since he passed away (and he dropped off the newpaper page)?

They will claim "homicide" is obscene but I also suspect it is the word/concept "God".

Freedom of religion does NOT mean freedom from religion.

Atheism is a belief system just as Christianity is. Agnostics at least are willing to admit that they just "don't know". Atheists are certain. That is a belief. They have faith that they will not be proven wrong.

Atheism should not dominate the public square.

<< If you're going to quote and then comment on a post of mine, please at least ping me. >>

My aplologies. Not sure what happened there -- but am sure I thought I was responding to you. Must have hit the wrong "Post Reply." Too many windows open, perhaps.

Please re-read it as having been addressed to you.

Best ones -- Brian

But when Clear Channel yanks Howard Stern just when he becomes critical of Bush, everybody says Stern deserved it cause he is gross and sophomoric. When I try to stir debate here on FR, I get my thread pulled and called a moron by the moderator. Im voting against Bush till he fixes this.

The other day I saw a man in the active duty Air Force with a hyphenated last name.

I feel sorry for him. Most likely he's a p-whipped s.o.b.
