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

Don’t we already have enough intolerant dumbasses to deal with in the classroom?

15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because the Philistines acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice in their hearts, and with ancient hostility sought to destroy Judah, 16 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will wipe out the Kerethites and destroy those remaining along the coast. 17 I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I take vengeance on them.’”

Bull. shite. They want to stay anonymous to protect themselves. Doesn’t the School District have the right to face their accusers?

It's not an accusation if it's true.

Oh the horror of teaching morality and family values.

Nah at least that teacher showed both sides....

Allegedly

As far as the state is considered, there is no other side. It isn't a teachers place to bring that into the classroom. They live in Louisiana, they've heard plenty about creationism elsewhere.

Newsflash: You can have morality and family values without being a Christian.

My wife and I are both Atheists. We've never committed a crime, other than minor traffic violations and smoking weed in high school, and our son is being taught to respect those around him and live his life as a good person.

Separation of church and state.

While I know people get all worked up and think the world is ending because people want to take "god" out of everything, this is what you do not understand.

Not everyone believes in the same thing. If you allow a teacher to bring religion into her classroom, they will bring in their version of what they believe. They can still be Christian, but teach a more conservative Christianity (or vice versa) so then you create an even bigger problem. People will start complaining "she told my kid this and we don't believe that, we believe something else".

Then, what if a kid comes into the class who isn't even Christian? They could be Mormon, Islam, etc..

I just looked at the numbers of people in each religion.. There are 2.1 billion Christians, 1.3 billion Islam and I was surprised to see this.. 1.1 billion or nonreligious (secular/agnostic/atheist), which I would imagine is the fastest growing "religious related" groups.

If we didn't have teachers unions and teacher tenure, this idiot would already have been fired.


I know this is a popular belief, but none of what you've mentioned holds true in a state like Louisiana.

You don't think going 100% against your boss's curriculum isn't a big deal? You don't think a teacher telling students that non-Christians are inherently bad people isn't a big deal? Even in North Louisiana, that's not going to fly. You can think that stuff, but you can't think that's ok to tell students in a public school.
