There is free speach but some are more equal than others.

Time for all moral people who give a crap about their kids to PULL THEM out of the government school cesspool. Govt. schools do not have a shred of decency left in them - they are thoroughly soaked in moral relativism as manifested in liberal fascistic ideas. If all parents who care about the education of their children pulled their kids out of the scum-sucking govt. schools, the govt. would be POWERLESS to do anything about it but SURRENDER. They certainly can't put 40 million people in jail!! It would change the country overnight!

But a group of Christian students who countered the Day of Silence by praying and sharing Bible verses in the school commons during class were given unexcused absences, despite permission slips from their parents.

umm ... exactly what event is "See You At The Pole"??

Wallestad and other students plan to organize a "Christian Purity Day"

Great idea! Christianity is under attack on a daily basis by groups who are intolerant in and of themselves. While groups display aberrant behaviour, they're not condemned as being bigoted and intolerant. Someone brings out a Bible or cross, and members of these aberrations are screaming loud and getting the media coverage. The best defense is a good offense, and these aberrations are displaying the philosophy to the fullest. A backlash is set to explode.

That school is run by poop-eaters.

They should have just had a heterosexual sit in or whatever...dragging religion into it is not cool...bring the morals and leave the sermon

Will Tim Robbins and Janeane Garafolo now complain about the conspiracy to deprive these students of their free speech?

[kegler4]

I would note, as somebody else already has, that it appears from the article that the kids were skipping class for their prayer and protest. I think they should be allowed to present their viewpoint or even to protest, but at the school my kids attend, ANYBODY who cuts class like that gets written up. The rules applies to all no matter what the reason.

Disgusting. Parents will tolerate a lot when it comes to free babysitting, but they'll have to answer to their Creator for their abnegation of duty some day.
