reply to Rick_C
Hello, Rick, Thank you for your reply. I got into finding out what "religion" really meant from when I went to AA...(I used to go to it a lot). They use the word as most people in the USA do (with this later definition): "the organized worship of a god with a belief in a particular set of doctrines ...

Hello, Perry, Thank you for your response. kaufmannphillips: American legal tradition hedges against government sponsorship of religious agendas, whether Christian, Jewish, or otherwise.

reply to Steve // Seth
Hello, Steve, Thank you for your response. (aleph) Although I enjoy working in the public schools immensely, I would choose some manner of private option for my own child(ren) if possible.

Hello, Perry, Thank you for your response. kaufmannphillips: If "T-shirts that promote unChristian agendas" are deemed sufficiently objectionable, should such a standard not be applied even-handedly? Students who wear shirts that advertise non-kosher food products, for example, promote unJewish agen...

Hello, Perry, Thank you for your response. kaufmannphillips: The issue at hand is standards for student behavior at a public school.

reply to TK & Derek
Hello, gentlemen, TK: just came across this article: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55821 Derek: You know, I really disagree with what the students did there. Of course, I think they should be free to do it, which I guess is what the article is about, but is wearing a t-shi...
