Yep..same problem from the other side. >Better yet, would that be something that you would speak out against? I >think that in the case of the ACLU they would find nothing wrong with >what that teacher did let alone DO anything about it. Would I speak out against a teacher laughing at a student for carrying a bible and pontificating on atheisim? You bet I would. I'd be at the school board demanding their head. And as for the ACLU, they don't only defend only one side of an issue, they defend the constitutionally protected rights of the people. If the case of a child who was being persecuted for carrying a bible was presented to them, they would be all over it, as they would any case of persecution for constitutionally protected freedoms. ______________________________________________________________________ Macromedia ColdFusion 5 Training from the Source Step by Step ColdFusion http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201758474/houseoffusion Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
