Ping!
Good Lord!!!! wait, can I say that?
I sometimes wonder if my response to these sorts of stories is best categorized as “fiddling while rome burns”.
I used to say that if it were not so serious it would be funny but I’ve gotten to the point where I think it’s funny anyway.
It’s like watching history happen before your very eyes.
Next year, when they hold the graduation in an un-airconditioned gym or parking lot, include the names of the plaintiffs prominently in the program. Heck, do it every year in perpetuity.
“This misery brought to you by ...”
Fine. Then keep your offended selves out of a privately funded property, and sweat your hairy ****** off.
There’s gratitude for ya.
Well, I’ll be flamed for this, but having the ceremony in the “religious part” (not sure what that is called in a Church) would result in Orthodox Jews, for example, not being able to attend the ceremony, in that the Torah forbids entry by Jewish people into the sanctuary of what Jews consider a false religion.
Now, would I have sued?
No, I would have explained to my very disappointed daughters (all of whom that reached such age being at the top of their class and gave a short speech) that they were out of luck and we’d go get their Diploma from the principal.
I am familiar with school districts that rent their property out to religious organizations on the weekends. Is that a violation also?
somehow exposing children to LGBT and sexual perversions doesn’t offend these people
A Jewish friend of mine, now deceased, attended my SIL’s funeral in a church. He even wore his yarmulke..............
I just wonder if there is some line that can/will be crossed that would get real action from the right?
Not only is the court wrong in the refusal to review the lower court’s ruling, it is STUPID. DUMB. MORONIC. IDIOTIC. ASSININE. I’m running out of adjectives. If the so-called “best” legal minds in the country can’t do any better than this, we are doomed.
Apparently not though I have sent emails on similar matters. Of course, they are ignored.
It's the Church that will get you on that one -- it violates one of the commandments.
Christians should not put their children in public schools. Government schools are child abuse.
Our high school was right across the road from our church. Lots of our teachers were members of the church and we often went to the church so we could take final exams in the AC.
“A Jewish friend of mine, now deceased, attended my SIL’s funeral in a church. He even wore his yarmulke.”
Then he was not Orthodox or decided to ignore the Torah.
