65% of the comments are good, 35% are trash or "But not all Christians are like that so you shouldn't blame all of them for <x>" which is deflecting the issue.

As for this, I'm not surprised this happened, just pissed that it's allowed to happen.

I'm probably wrong, but I feel like the sudden influx of the idiot comments on the second page are from the same anon who got butthurt over the article.

Oh, but it's okay, because they're not all like that, guiz. It's only a vocal minority that gets up to this, you don't need to worry about us.

I like the one that goes on about how it's wrong to demonize the community when it was just one teacher, ignoring that fact that it was the teacher, the principal, and the superintendent.  You know, the people with the power in the school.

Not only that, but the entire class that bullied the kid to the point of physical illness.

My Kentucky high school experience wasn't quite THIS bad, but most of the teachers and administrators were decidedly unsympathetic to my reports of bullying and harassment, especially when it was religion-based. Not to mention the time the Lutheran church choir I was a part of at my parents' insistence decided that throwing rocks at me would be a great way to pass the time while we waited for practice to start.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

Man... schools I went to were never that bad... or even remotely close to it.   We had the "Pole" gathering, but it was entirely voluntary, and was held either before or after school hours so as not to interfere in any of the school's normal functioning.

I thought I lived in the buckle of the Bible Belt, but maybe I was wrong.

Let's see, give students the option to read books for class that parents (who've never read the book) disapprove of:  teacher gets fired.

Use religion to bully students into conformity:  teacher gets praised.

The first one BTW was from another article.  It's just that kind of behavior that pisses me off.  Hell, that kind of behavior pissed me off even back when I was a Christian.

Re: Christians and slavery.

Next time you see a Southern Baptist claiming that it was Christianity that brought an end to slavery, make sure to ask why the Southern Baptists split off from their northern bretheren.

There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

So what can be done about this clearly unconstitutional school and probably many more like it?

In theory? Force them to either get rid of the religious iconography or include representations of other faiths, stop preaching in class, teach actual science in science class...

In practice, the government and administrators will bleat and wave their arms and scream "persecution!" until the problem goes away. Which it will. No matter the damages they end up having to pay to the family, they aren't going to let a little thing like other people's rights get in the way of their ideology.

Well it's a good thing in theory. But can it actually be done?
