This is just what I love, a nice brawl between the last century and the next.
Religion, evolution, academic freedom, sex education, with school-children as the pawns in the game, caught in the cultural cross-fire between parents, neighbors, teachers, and the poor school officials who have to try to keep everyone happy while not alienating everyone. Impossible, but interesting nevertheless.
I wonder whether anyone ever seriously tried to keep religion and government separate. Maybe a few did. I'd sure hate to have to try to get Constitutional law past the voters today.
See the Yahoo news article following the First Amendment Center one, below, entitled "First Amendment No Big Deal."
The more I see of such stuff, the more I appreciate the humor of the Texan in Catch-22, the one who thought he should get more votes than people he considered idiots...
Let me put it to you this way: How does it make you feel knowing that your vote and some idiot's vote are worth exactly the same. You've been canceled out by a fool. Does that make you want to rush out and vote next election? What are you going to do then, not vote and leave the next election to be decided by idiots? I've got my "I voted," sticker pasted to the cover of my Con-law text for when I get tempted.
