Comments on Prayer in the State House, Cocaine in the Ass, Bigots in High School

Hey, it looks like the courts are using your beloved Tinker case for something, even if it is for a completely unrelated reason, and also totally wrong!

I wonder when people will stop buying into the the whole, "You're being intolerant of my intolerance" bullshit.

I think the opening prayers qualify as ceremonial deism. I have resigned myself to such things. Personally, I hate the ceremonies themselves more than the tokens of religion attached.

Chris @ 1,
Yes, the Tinker case is wide open for the religious right to say students religious rights can't be squashed in the school. If that's simply a matter of allowing kids to pray at lunch, have clubs, and insult people they don't like ... I don't have a problem with it.
If it's used to chip away at separation of church and state, until the meaning is twisted so that official school curriculum, functions, and events promote and favor religion, then it becomes scary... and inconsistent with Tinker.

Funny, back when I was in high school I was not aware we had any constitutional rights. Safety & discipline trumped everything. But now its OK as long as you want to pick on the queers.
