That's fine. I'm not a Christian, and this is not a "deeply held religious conviction." > It's a sense of what's appropriate with kids. Absolutely.

This teacher is getting screwed. But blaming a parent for protesting against something they were not happy > about in a school is unfair as well. Who says the parent demanded that the > teacher be fired? You don't know that. I don't blame the parent, > Christianity or religion. I blame the school. No, it's not. As a parent, when you sign a permission slip, it's akin to driving your child to the location and dropping them off. It's an approval for them to be at the place. How can you give approval for your child to attend, and then protest later that they attended? How is that fair? Judith, in the above case, wouldn't you just have refused to sign the permission slip, case closed? -- "We can sit outside and argue all night long, about a God we've never seen, but who never fails to side with me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:216299 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
