“A federal judge has ordered the Santa Rosa County School District to stop promoting religion and prayer in the classroom and at school events.
U.S. District Court Judge Casey Rodgers ruled Friday after school officials admitted allegations in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Rodgers’ order prohibits employees from:
• Promoting prayer at school-sponsored events, including graduation.
• Planning or financing religious baccalaureate services.
• Promoting religious beliefs to students in class or during school-sponsored events and activities.
• Holding school-sponsored events at churches.”

The news chronicles the failures of humankind, and it’s hard not to feel depressed after reading the morning newspaper. But every once in a while there’s an article that gives me hope that we are evolving into more enlightened human beings.
Principals and teachers are held in high regard by their students, and school officials can use their influence for good or evil. In this case Pace High School Principal Frank Lay used his authority to attempt to indoctrinate his young charges into his Christian faith.
I can hear millions of Christians saying “what’s wrong with that“? I would ask these fine Christians what if a Muslim principal or a Wiccan teacher spread his or her faith to schoolchildren?
When I try to convince people of faith that promoting the Christian faith at school is an abomination, they respond that atheists don’t have to participate during a school prayer. Would they have the same perspective if their children had to sit still while their Wiccan teacher cast spells for world peace?
God bless Judge Rodgers for his ruling, and thank God that we can look forward to President Barack Obama appointing federal judges who share Judge Rogers enlightened views.

You obviously know nothing about this Judge except for your hatred of religion(?) seems to fall in line with hers. Yeah, the Judge is a woman. If you didn’t even know that, how could you endorse her as a judge. You should know the decision history of a judge before you praise him/her. Your knowledge of the Constitution is atrocious, too, if you lack the ability to understand that the only restriction placed on the government where religion is concerned is that you can make no LAW regarding the ESTABLISHMENT of religion, a result of nationalized religion in England. NEVER was there a limit to expressing your own beliefs. I have strong religious beliefs and I believe that ANYONE, even a witch, even in school or in Congress, has the right to practice their faith as long as the tenets of that faith do not violate a law against something like rape or murder, etc., acts that 99.999% of human beings recognize as wrong. But go ahead and keep regurgitating the pap of the leftist machine. After all, you have the “news” media on your side. Oh, and take some time to learn about the Constitution. If you dislike or disagree with it, move to China and see if you like that better.

Oh, I see that you moderate your comments. Looks the Goebbels system is in place. We will see if I actually get posted. Maybe after you consult ACORN or the ACLU for a nice canned response?
