ACLU Halts Bible Donations in North Carolina Elementary Schools

    A North Carolina school district is putting an end to the donations of Bibles to elementary school kids.

    The Cumberland County school system says state law limits the practice strictly to high schools and has issued instructions banning it at 54 elementary schools in the metro Fayetteville area.

    The move comes after a parent complained about the stack of Bibles left in her son’s classroom earlier this month. The same parent filed a complaint with the American Civil Liberties Union.

    The Fayetteville Observer said that while a 1998 court decision allows outside groups to make Bibles available to high school students, the ACLU contends it doesn’t apply to elementary kids who might see the practice as promoting Christianity over other religions.

    The Bibles came from the Gideons, the group best known for supplying Bibles to hotel rooms.

Gideons be warned. The ACLU are likely to jail you if you try to share the gospel to kids. What? You thought the Constitution protected freedom of religion? Not according to the ACLU’s version. Maybe you should try pro-Palestian, or pro-Communist propaganda. Or maybe install some footbaths to accomadate Muslims. The ACLU seem to think these are protected speech.

The ACLU have a long history of going after the Gideons, but talk about splitting hairs. I thought their argument was based on public schools being government funded. Whats the difference between Elementary and High Schools on that basis? A biased loophole is all. Once again the ACLU lives up to its reputation as America’s number one Christian censor.

The ACLU..... course y'all know thats short for the, Anti Christ Lawyers Union.

Thinking out loud here, "Whats good for the goose is good for the gander," comes to mind. So if I preach on the street, and get busted because of the ACLU. The ACLU are blocking, my right to free speech. Course the ACLU is also communist in nature, so they are against anything American.

Hmmmm I wonder what will happen if I soak my tootsies, in one of those foot-bath in the airports. That might feel good, and might be a little stinky after taking of my shoes. Grin

This is such total baloney that it makes me angry. The hypocrisy of our court system is beyond belief. Congress directed the first printing of the Bible in America, and Congress bought Bibles to place in public schools. Further, church services have been held in all of our older public buildings. The judges making this decision know this, and they should be impeached and thrown out of public office forever. The Constitution has NOT changed on this issue, so the court is intentionally violating the Constitution. Further, they are violating the Freedom of Religion Rights of the People and THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED!

Ooooooophs! - What can I say? I'm just a country boy, and I wondered why that new-fangled stuff at the airport looked so different.  UM? - I thought they were something else.   Roll Eyes    BUT, I'm not the only one - everyone else must have thought the same thing that I did. I wonder how easy they are to clean and disinfect and how many times per day they should do that.

My question is......... do I take off my shoes first, or leave them on. That would be a good way for me to clean off my shoes, while soaking my tootsies, at the same time. Grin Grin

That might be a good way to clean the boots after slopping the pigs.   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
