Thou shalt honor our secular public schools, Texas - Freedom From Religion Foundation

Wow. They've gone off the deep end.

Most recent version of the bill I saw online. I can't support this bill. It is a mistake.

I cannot go along with the Texas decision. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, ...". Many will try to use this to carve religion from our schools. However, being a non-attorney may in fact give me that "Joe Average" common sense viewpoint.

1. A court (like Congress) shouldn't establish religion by any type of decision. Common sense needs
to rule.

2. Someone's faith should not be the litmus test by which someone is chosen for, or selected for, a
position. At the same time the worker or professional must remain totally neutral neither supporting
or criticizing other faiths or problèmes du jour.

3. The opposite is also true. It is ethically wrong for Congress or a court to make a law that singles-out
Christians and other religions for persecution or removal simply because of their faith.

I have a real problem with Satanism, Luciferianism, demon / devil worship, and Wicca. I have known some very nice people that profess Wicca, but I would prefer they not be the people guiding my child's psychological development. At the same time I don't know how I could allow Christians, Jews, Muslims, Zoroastrians, Buddhists, etc., without permitting every bizarre cult to enjoy a presence in schools.
