Rev. That is one of the many reasons I'm not having kids; I don't trust the system to teach without preaching. Plus I'd probably homeschool my hypothetical kids and wouldn't have the time to do that anytime soon. It's a shame kids can't learn at their own pace, but that's a whole 'nother topic. (My best friends mom is a 1st grade teacher and she got in trouble for teaching her first graders up to a third grade level. What was the second grade teacher supposed to teach them?)

I've got no issues with the students praying, wearing insanely large crosses, or creating an after school group. I had no issues with it before. The dilemma is that there are school officials on school hours leading or having publicly spoken prayer. The students could all convert to the religion of the flying spaghetti monster for all I care and the students could try to convince everyone that the flying spaghetti monster will save us all! But, not the faculty.
Do I think they should tell the class president not to speak, no, she's a student. She isn't government funded.
I really need to get specific when I respond to these sometimes, but it upsets me to no end that these adults think they can get away with this. I'm not so strict that I would say we should in any way go as far as France and ban dang near everything. The Jewish kids can't wear skullcaps, the muslims can't wear the scarves, and the Christian kids can't wear large crosses. That's extreme and that prevents their religious freedom.
Seriously, they should be glad I didn't go to that highschool. I would have spent all 4 years protesting every last religious bit in the handbook. I hope they do serve jail time because the poor kids that aren't Christian are being discriminated against. High School is hard enough to deal with without religious discrimination.

Where does everyone find these crazy neighbors? Mine are so quiet it was hard to believe I had them the first year I had my house. Ironically, my dad was concerned about the location and thought I might have crappy neighbors. Jokes on him, mine are nicer and easier to deal with than his.
I'm thinking I'd like to have a conversation with my boss about my coworker. WTF? Why is she always on the phone, this is too busy a weekend for this crap.
I was having a "social/anti-social" day. Which just translates to I want to be around people and don't all at the same time. I'll try to be slightly talkative in the future, Goddess save you if I get really talkative- I won't shut up.
