He argued that the FFRF should be ignored because of how few members it has, writing this is an attempt to draw us into a contest of words for the sole purpose of giving the FFRF a large amount of free press/recognition that they and their very few members (1,200 in Texas) do not deserve.
In the mind of my wingnut sister, this is apparently a heart-warming example of a superintendent "standing up" to "atheist bullies".

(13,029 posts)The judge appointed or elected by the same people who push this policy on everyone? The judge who epitomizes the agenda of you and your cronies here that religious "faith" is a good and necessary force in society?

(23,156 posts)with the Lord's Prayer, it made me totally crazy as a Catholic that I had to listen to the Protestant ending. I'd think, Why can't we occasionally say a good Hail Mary?
The Bible belongs in church, not in school. Period. I am so glad I don't live in Texas, and most especially don't have children attending school there.

(13,029 posts)the fact that a religious "belief" is shared by an awful lot of people automatically lends it legitimacy and should make it immune to criticism.
