A public high school chorus in Massachusetts wanting to sing during an Easter Sunday Mass at a basilica while on a school trip to Europe isn't going to get to do it because of church/state objections. Story is attached.

I no longer feel sorry for anyone who reaps the results of consistent leftist voting. Conservatives can move out of the state. If they stay there, they know what they’re in for. Sad but it’s all about choices.

I think if I was 10 years younger I’d drive out there and bust their ####ing heads open with a Louisville.

But that’s just me.

I also think you’re a pu@@y for asking a question on your first day here that you’re afraid to answer yourself.

This isn’t a Q and A site.

Grow some balls and take a stance or go the #### away.

Yeah, gee, why allow the kids to have the experience of a lifetime with their friends in Europe?

It’s so much better to sit at home in Boston and do nothing, right?

It’s a Catch-22. Government has no business promoting or denigrating religion, on the one hand - and on the other hand, school is inherently a cultural institution which cannot but either promote or denigrate religion.

The only true resolution being, that the government has no business in education. Education should be done by, or at least for, parents. With the caveat that you cannot raise your children to be crooks or cheats - and you cannot raise them to disregard the rights of others. Which would outlaw the teaching of Sharia.

The doctrine of “church and state” would also preclude having NASA promote the self-esteem of Muslims . . .

Absolutely preposterous. If they were planning to run naked around the altar, the ACLU would be defending their “First Amendment rights.”

They should sing. They are Americans—from Trump’s America.

That’s the real issue. Government schools are socialism in practice, and inescapably atheistic.

“What do you think?”

I think you need to not post any new articles until the mob calms down. I recommend a good two or three months.
