I wonder if the kids have to return their diplomas.

The Constitution sets no standards whatsoever for what is or is not 'religious' ~ and a building is just a building.
The landlord has no obligation whatsoever to remove or hide the artwork.
She DID say you can politic in churches, so what's the deal with handing out a diploma?
wonder if the teachers are willing to put their salary on the line...kinda paygo.... If the kid turns out ignorant...no pay and no retirement contribution....
LOL here in Indiana, a lot of the POLLING PLACES are in church buildings.
Since we’re a red state this time, maybe this is Holder’s ploy to invalidate our votes....
For decades worship services were held in the House of Representatives. For even longer, our judges were sane. Auld Lang Syne...
These “judges” sound like a bunch of addicts who molest little boys. I can’t find it anywhere in MY CONSTITUTION where it says AMERICANS can’t hold graduations in church. NO WHERE! They seemed to have confused their copy of “Rules for Radicals” with the U.S. Constitution.
>>These folks must be extremely insecure in their faith in socialism and secularism to be so terrified that twelve years of indoctrination into it can be undone by the glimpse of a cross.
Most of these “atheists” hate God too much to not really believe. They just wish that He didn’t exist and any exposure reminds them of their folly. God calls to them and they scream back, “No. Stay away. I’m not worthy and I hate you for that.”
I used to be one of them (the atheist, but not the socialist).
The secular-progressive cultural Marxism peddled by Hollywood, the government schools and liberal universities is as much a system of religious belief as Christianity or Buddhism or Paganism.
Anonymous? That ain’t right. If you’re brave enough to file a lawsuit that stupid, you ought to be brave enough to sign your name to it.
Now I’m just a mountain bred hick but it seems to me that it’s awfully strange that none of the ‘highly educated’ legal beagles ever said to a judge (in these types of fiascos)...
“Your honor, in order to rule that somehow this violates some heretofor undiscovered part of the Constitution, your honor would need to rationally hold that the founding fathers who wrote the constitution itself were unaware of all the schooling going on in churches, all the prayer in schools, and all the prayer that began and ended their official government activities.
“Now I do not believe that your honor is unaware of these historical facts, therefore your honor would be in gross denial of both history and their very actions.”
And when the judge DID rule liberally, then hit every talk show and do every interview where an interviewer could be found relentlessly shredding the stupidity of the decision.
Oh Sweet Jesus, these poor kids were exposed to a Cross.
How awful.
Not a one of these kids were ever exposed to a cross before I am sure, even though cemetary’s are full of them
This is why all Democrats must never be allowed to Hold any Public office,or work in any Govt Beaurocracy,..or be allowed to run with scissors...or shoot BB Guns.
They are childish God Hating Morons.
Wisconsin separation of church and state ping
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Separate school and state. Before it is too late.
Next thing you know they will order the removal of square linoleum tiles from public buildings because of the thousands of crosses they form at their intersections, and replace them with something else. They're clearly not interested in the purpose of the constitution- to bind government, not to bind the people, censor them or to shield them from the ideas or symbols of others. If they truly believed in a separation of government from religion for the sake of preserving people's rights they would separate government from education so it could not impose any ideas and would leave us alone. It's clear they are interested only in eradicating Christianity and promoting their own religion of atheism instead, and by their manners have no respect or tolerance for anyone's beliefs except their own.
Reminds me of the communists in East Germany perpetually trying to cover the image of a cross on a what I guess was a water tower. Nothing they tried worked, it just kept reappearing. They could never grasp that their problem wasn't so much because it was a "flaw" in the water tower as it was a flaw in their own heads. Birds could fly by that tower and the ever-present symbol unperturbed, because they do not hate and have nothing to fear from any symbol; but the communists could not pass by it without it capturing their eyes. They kept seeing a cross no matter how much they painted over it; it was something they most feared and could not take their eyes off of it; it consumed them even though it could not even command so much reaction from a mere bird.
Unwittingly they themselves were the best advertisement that cross ever had because by relentlessly attacking the cross they kept drawing the attention of others to it- and to their own relative powerlessness. It might have gone wholly unnoticed, seen for the round water tower it was, but their hatred and persecution of it made it shine all the more.
Seems to me if they want to play that game then they may ultimately shed a lot of blood as did earlier revolutionaries, but they will lose; let them just try to eradicate religion when we can see God in everything, and everything a sign reminding us of faith in something higher than mere mortal men, who fear what even a sparrow need not shy from.
If this isn't freedom FROM religion instead of freedom OF religion, then I'll never know what is.
I guess the Penn State sanctions rule applies and all the diplomas back to 1999 are null and void. That won’t inconvenience anyone, right? Its come to the point crazy is more sensible than what judges say.
