Not more than a month ago, there was a thread on FR about a school where Muslim children were allowed the use of an empty room in the public school to say their afternoon prayers, the room was available to any group who wished to use it. There was also a mention in the article about a regularly scheduled meeting of a Christian Athlete's group after school, in a classroom.
I seem to recall a few years ago, when a neighbor's daughter was attending High School, that she belonged to a Christian group who met regularly on school grounds.
Granted, I am not immersed in the topic, but I don't see where things have changed that much in the last 20 years or so.
1) The ACLU has been demanding that the Ten Commandmants be taken down or threatens suit, all across the country.
2) The Pledge of Allegiance is being "disallowed" because the name of God is in it.
3) "God Bless America" has somehow been equated with "offensiveness" because the name of God is in it.
4) Graduating classes are being prohibited from having a prayer at their graduations.
5) School athletes are being told it is against the law to pray before they run out onto the field and play the game because it "offends" ONE student.
These are only some examples of groups and the government (i.e., school districts and judges) infringing upon the rights of individuals to express themselves. However, there are individuals and groups which the ACLU protects: For one: the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA), is allowed to display obscene acts of Mary, the mother of Jesus, or portray Jesus in a vile manner, claiming they have the "freedom to express themselves." The NEA receives government funding and uses my money to fund the "artists" who "create" these offensive and disgusting works of "art."
Disgusting works of "art" get protected. Saying God Bless America gets condemned. I think something definitely is wrong with the liberals in our society who seek to defend trash and tear down what is healthy and good.
