^^ Lynda, I was reading that too, earlier. Well, looks like “Change” ain’t happening as far as Bush’s religious bullshit agenda goes.

It doesn’t matter whether xians can use the internet to proselytize in schools since the Obama administration is still giving the religious right easy access to students minds. BOOOOObama!
“Feb. 26 – In releasing his 2010 budget outline today, President Obama indicates that his administration will continue funding abstinence-only-until-marriage sex education, an approach that has repeatedly failed to reduce teen pregnancy. By stressing abstinence and faith-based partnerships and avoiding specific language regarding comprehensive sex education in his new budget, the president is signaling that he may continue the failed and religion-driven policies of the Bush administration.” from http://www.secular.org/

This is just another predatory organization. Not unlike anyother. They use deception and coersion to win people over. But in this instance it must be done with the tacit approval of the school officials. It would be nice to see that some parent(s) come forward and object. But in many cases doing so would just be a form of social suicide. Or maybe not. Given the circumstances it could be handled throuh a lawyer and noone would be the wiser. Threaten a school that has a low budget with a lawsuit and surprises do happen.

I have noticed that anymore the schools are becoming the true battlegrounds for the religious that wish to force their beliefs on others.

Yep, they are zeroing in on the children. Not only do parents now have to worry about drug pushers, pedophile predators, etc. , now they have to worry about the religious predators who are eager to brainwash your child into their cults. And that’s what many of them are. I know from experience those couple of years I went to the Baptist church as a teenager, the adults would talk against parents who were not “Saved” nor went to church and act as some sort of surrogate parent to those kids who were from dysfunctional homes or who were simply at odds with their parents for whatever reasons. The god botherers didn’t even care if they were making the homelife and family relationships worse for those kids as long as they kept coming regularly to the brainwashing sessions.

Ah sounds again like the normal double talk you get from religion. I figure that the administration of the school is, if not members of the church, they are at least involved in religion heavily.

That’s some very creepy crap – and I agree with AtheistUnderMask that all hell would break loose if atheists or Muslims did the same thing!
Very creepy.

I agree 110%, Jaycubed. I’d be dancing in the street if the law came down on these people. I can only imagine the cry for justice if some evil atheist tried this, or how about if it was a Muslim?

But life has shown me that all are not equal under the law. You or I would be labeled either a sex predator or would be getting measured for a striped jumpsuit if we did this.

It doesn’t really matter what religious people care about, it matters what they do. Let them whine as the cuffs are slapped on them. Whining is what they do best.

And I suspect most parents who call themselves christian wouldn’t be any less upset that their child was taken without their permission by someone else just because they call themselves christians.

Believers often tend to get pretty upset at the thought of exposing their children to the practices of different cults.

And, money talks! Imagine lawsuits against a church for attempting to kidnap children to religiously indoctrinate them against their parents wishes. Lawyers would drown in their own drool.
