I can only imagine what they’d be screaming if it was in Alabama.
maybe some of the parents objecting to yoga and mindfulness could produce some photos of Jesus not practicing either one to bolster their arguments…
after all… what would Jesus know about mindfulness?
Children are not prohibited from praying during the school day. I really wish this canard would be put to rest. All manner of media outlets quote parents bemoaning the “fact” prayer is banned in schools, yet I NEVER hear of a reporter informing a parent that is a false claim. Nor is it written within any articles as an aside “Many parents we interviewed are upset that prayer is banned in public schools, but in this claim they are mistaken.”
Two of my nieces are teachers in the public schools and they will tell you that everytime there is a pop quiz, there is ALL kinds of praying going on.
Screaming? I figure that if this was Alabama, they’d use their guns to do the screaming for them.
A healthy spine is the devil’s playground.
They could try Krakroa wh’ltri…Vulcan meditation. If the kids start sprouting pointy ears, then they can complain. 
Jesus would have kicked that pussy Buddha’s ass!
No, that’s Georgia. Just the other day, some yahoo decided to blow up his lawnmower by packing it with three pounds of explosive and then shooting it with his gun. Lawnmower blew up alright but a big piece of shrapnel flew out and cut off his right lower leg. County fire chief said they get about five calls a WEEK about this stuff.
Now these fools are not only careless with guns, they are careless with EXPLOSIVES too.
So are you saying that Georgia is the Switzerland of the south and Alabama is the…Alabama of the south…or maybe the Texas?
Absolutely… unless they were sumo wrestling.
Friend of mine once spent a year as a teacher in Dothan, AL. All he’ll say is they are VERY different people down there and they’ve passed it on to their kids.
Students also would not be allowed to color mandalas, which are spiritual symbols representing the universe in Hinduism and Buddhism.
However, doodling a crucifix on your note pad will not be forbidden.
Only the lack of an appreciable number of Hindu and Buddhist parents prevents a suit being filed and successfully litigated against this school district. Someone with standing should kneecap these idiots.Oh. Your. God.
I guess we should only teach them how to drink beer and watch football while yelling at the kids to “shut the hell up!”
That is how most of them spend their Sunday’s anyway.
1.) No religion in schools. Period.
2.) New Agey stuff is a jumble of beliefs and practices that isn’t strictly a religion IMHO but no matter how enthusiastically you delve into that jumble yourself, no matter how benign and helpful and not-wrong you think it is, it doesn’t really belong in schools either. Personally I like cats and the jazz pianist Wynton Kelly and Warner Brothers cartoons from the Forties and early Fifties and pumpkin pie and antique salmon flies but I don’t think any of that necessarily should be shoehorned into the public school curriculum.
3.) We already mentioned no religion in schools but just so we’re clear. Christian bigots, this includes you very much in particular.
“Moore said that some parents also mistakenly believed teachers were telling students that crystals had healing powers, and assured them that “nothing resembling this will be done in the future.””
…no doubt fearing that this would encourage the child to be curious about those crystals mommy and daddy are always playing with in their double-wide…
I wonder if these assholes realize that just made it impossible now for ANY religious instruction in their schools. Nice going, shitheads. You did our work for us!
Stuff like this is just embarrassing.
That’s typically how it works. The open carry nuts in Texas are making it much more difficult for concealed carry folks too. It’s kind of delicious sometimes.
