re: Bossier parents to schools: Stop teaching Christianity to our kids

If you don't think there is a war on Christianity in America today, I don't know what to tell you. It's everywhere.

there is no war on Christianity. No one, and I mean literally no one, is advocating against Christians and their right to practice their religion.

People are, however, pushing back against practices of Christians to impose their religion on others. My whole family are very religious and Christian, most of my friends too. I'm all for them or anyone else practicing the religion of their choosing. You never read about anyone protesting the church or members of a church- because it isn't happening.

On the other hand, the South is starting to get push back on their antiquated methods of involving religion in things where it doesn't belong (schools). I understand how it seems like a "war" to you, because you've never known any other way, but as always it's really just trying to catch the South up with modern times.

For those stubborn and unwilling to change from the "way things have always been", they've had to create a straw man argument that "there's a war on our religion!!!". It's much easier to defend their religion in this fictitious war, than it is to defend a publicly funded school from pushing and teaching one religion.

He’s definitely right although it’s not confined to the south though. The war on Christians is by and large a fabrication and the result of a victim mentality, much like SJW's have. It’s great to feel oppressed, have an enemy so to speak, something to work against because that brings everyone together. And there are instances where yeah Christians are treated unfairly, but that’s the exception not the norm.

Huh?

There are certainly parts of the world where being a Christian can make you a target. Where you can’t even openly practice your faith for fear of prosecution or death.

The United States is NOT one of these places.

Good for them for respecting the constitution

So there you go. The Supreme Court has always upheld rulings and interpreted the first amendment to include separation of church and state.

Which is not at all unlike the other two branches of our government, which refuses to limit itself to Constitutional bounds. The federal government has absolutely no constitutional authority granted to it over schools, and what goes on there.

It seems none of the branches of government want to reference the Constitution to see if they have the authority to weigh in on any issue. Failure to do so, because it limits their power, is a perfect definition of tyranny.
