Amazing how she doesn't consider that the seperation of church and state would require REMOVING all GOD related materials as well...

the bible..."Dear god, it's me margaret.." everything CS Lewis...and so on. It would be seriously slim pickings....

Maybe she should move to China she won't find anything religious on their bookshelves.

I know. It is the utter defiance of their own hypocrisy that just baffles me and makes me want to bash people like her in the head with a big fat clue stick.

What is it about religion that makes so many people so stupid? * shakes head *

LMFAO!!! Most people that pitched a fit about the Harry Potter books did this same thing. They bitched about how schools need to separate church and state and how these books should be banned because of their witchcraft content. Then they turn right around and say things like "God needs to be in children's lives" etc. My high school actually banned the Harry Potter series for a short while until they figured out that banning the book made kids flock to the public library to read it. Stupid Christian parents. (I live in a predominately Christian area and parents tend to raise hell if they think that something is 'wrongly' influencing and imprinting their helpless and utterly innocent clean slate minions, excuse me, children.)

Hell, my school even banned Korn t-shirts b/c of its supposed violent and promotes drugs and other crap. Or they could just say what they are really thinking (like my grandma) and say that it's the devil's music. (I've never laughed so hard as when I've heard that statement. I wanted to say "Yes grandma, the devil took precious time out of his day to invent heavy metal music. What absolute garbage. Then again that is my grandmother's favorite statement "The devil this, the devil did that." She even told me the devil created the tv show Gargoyles... The cartoon. Yeah, my grandma is a fundie to the extreme.) Anyways, then us high schoolers, being wannabe rebels and overall smartasses, wore Corn (as in on the cob) t-shirts. Until our school banned those too. Idiots.

"I have a dream that God will be welcomed back in our schools again," Mallory said. "I think we need him."

Funny thing is, I doubt God would actually give a rat's ass about something so trivial as banning a children's book. Hell, I doubt he gives a rat's ass about the human race entirely - probably just does not care to deal with the stupidity any longer and has resigned to watch the drama unfold from afar.

...I'd probably do the same thing.

Yes Zoso, they banned corn on the cob t-shirts. Our school was public, but uber conservative and VERY religious. They banned those t-shirts because kids started to wear them in place of Korn t-shirts. It's a stupid thing to ban but hey, I never said our school system was run by brilliant people.

This is my thinking too. He's probably sitting up in heaven wondering why the dinosaurs had to die out. LOL
