Eerie. That site layout is identical to my hometown newspaper (also a Freedom Publication).

Anyway, yeah it's just a t-shirt. So scrap them. No point in expecting parents to put up w/ a controversial subject on a publicly funded venue.

Those tax dollars come from somewhere.

As a card-carrying southern Baptist, I agree, cb.

Some people just go around looking for something to get outraged about.

Actually besides instruments, bands are privately funded. I mean trips, music, most equipment, and of course those t-shirts are all privately funded.

What these people need to do is concentrate on seeing that their kids learn and stop worrying about this type of nonsense.

Depends on where you go. But if a teacher can't provide information that includes religious history b/c she "represents the government" then it's hands off of everything.

Quid pro quo.

Or you could stop ALL the nonsense.

Quote:Pollitt said the district is required by law to remain neutral where religion is concerned.

How is a monkey carrying a tuba considered religious? We have too many people in this country looking for ways to be offended.

And I am not F*king Charles Darwin or a Darwinian Radical Freak.

If you want to be an "Evolved Ape", then by God call your self an Ape, otherwise join the Human Race.

I'd be ever-so-slightly sympathetic to you if the had anything to do with anything remotely "Darwinian". It's hard to read any kind of religious message into this incident. If teaching evolution satisfies legal separation of church and state (I am aware of no ruling to the contrary), then it's ridiculous to suggest that this image doesn't also satisfy it, given that it's completely divorced from any kind of ideological context. Are you also suggesting that they must rename their program?

I'm sure its just someone's idea of how to tick people off in town and then sound like a martyr when some complain about it. Oh, I never thought anyone would be upset about this! Yeah, people are too serious about these things, but if you do something that you know is going to cause a reaction, don't be surprised by the reaction.

I do that a lot in meetings. I ask questions that I know will bring out emotional responses to unemotional items. It makes people think and sometimes some good comes out of it.

Plus, it's fun. In the t-shirt case, I think it's more innocent and the guy just didn't anticipate any kind of backlash.

With charm like that, I bet you have catlike reflexes.
