[QUOTE="heymikey80, post: 59535285, member: 134504"] So plaintiff's rights should be suppressed, you say. But wait, that's [I]the atheist[/I] complaining. To which I'm aghast you would say such a thing, even though I'm sure it was inadvertent. No, [I]both[/I] have a right to free speech in the school. Both should be allowed to share their views, in the quantity for which it accomplishes the school's objective to produce an educated, not sheltered, group of adults who don't expect to suppress the rights of others for their own purposes. In this case the intent was clearly thwarted. It appears Washington's comments indicate accurately that without religion, the morality of the populace dissolves into anarchy. No, some students are being silenced by the school. And now I suspect more students will be silenced through an oppressive interpretation of the decision. That's generally what happened in schools around here, and in schools elsewhere when these decisions have been imposed. My nephews were instructed not to call parties a "Christmas party" when they were in school. Students in youth group reported that some teachers declared that there would be no religious discussions in their class. Secularization is suppression, just as surely as dictation of a religion. As I never insisted the school teach my religion, the question isn't directed at me. I want any public school to be an open forum for religious speech. Right now it's a platform suppressing religious speech. [/QUOTE]
