Quote:You mean like when the Colorado Schools were requiring the students to say the pledge of allegiance in Arabic?


How about the california schools telling students that they can't hold silent prayer at the flag pole every morning. (That may have been colorado also. I won't bother looking it up.)


Off religion, California schools not allowing shirts with the American flag on them because it may "offend" illegal immigrants.


Where were your fears for the past 8 years?

One guy changes the already amended words "under God" to "under Allah" in the pledge during a Cultural Club meeting is not requiring students to say the pledge in Arabic. (Arabic being a language and not a religion)


I have never personally cared for students "meet at the pole" sessions either way as it is not mandated by the school. If a school opts to disallow that for reasons other than safety due to the location of the pole and traffic around it, I would question why.


If a school disallows students wearing American flag shirts, it should be because it violates flag etiquette. Ask Abbie Hoffman about his American flag shirt. It went on trial in 1968.


I didn't fear religious doctrine permeating school curriculum before it started happening. The Texas school board approved text books with a clear religious slant and which makes false claims about our nation's founding. My kid will be pulled from school before she sits for a test on such rubbish.
