Now hold on there buckaroo. Is your "faith" not strong enough to withstand a little cross culture exposure/education? I think exposing our under/un educated masses to how other cultures live is "a good thing" and about damn time too. United Stateiens, commonly referred to as American, are all too ignorant of other cultures, what they believe, and how they think. So in this particular case, let them pray their pseudo Islamic knees off. As for the ACLU; its times like this I wish I believed in the devil and hell, because that's where I wish they'd go. -----Original Message----- From: Erik Vistica [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 12:03 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [HP3000-L] OT: Prayer now required in public schools Where's the ACLU now? http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=36118 Requiring seventh-grade students to pretend they're Muslims, wear Islamic garb, memorize verses from the Quran, pray to Allah and even to play "jihad games" in California public schools has been legally upheld by a federal judge, who has dismissed a highly publicized lawsuit brought by several Christian students and their parents. <snip> * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html * * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
