Alabama House Advances Devious Plan To Break Down The Separation Of Church And State

[moonshaz]

Give them points for creativity. Last week, the Alabama House Education Policy Committee advanced an unusually clever proposal to mandate state sponsored prayer in public schools. Though the proposal’s gambit is unlikely to survive judicial review, it essentially tries to hack the Constitution by dressing up school prayers as if they were something

Is it sponsored by that asshole Beamer? (He of a bunch of offensive legislation including that horrible immigration bill)

It really pisses me off that I'm probably going to have to vote for a Freedom Works sponsored idiot against Beemer in the next election because even a Freedom Works idiot cannot be worse than that Beemer asshole. And it's all a race to how far right they can go with no available alternatives. *sigh* No good choices here.

Ugh, what fucking douchebags. Those worthless fucks would dismantle this shit in a heartbeat the first time a teacher who follows Islam or Wicca used their prayers to open class with.

"First class of the day"? He expects teachers of math, science, foreign language, music, etc. to start class by discussing Congressional procedures? Or does he expect this to be done in homeroom, when the kids are still settling down and getting ready for the day? Either way, if this passed, the teachers would do the bare minimum (which is the prayer) and move on. They certainly wouldn't want to waste 15 minutes a day on this when they are trying to teach kids the multiplication tables.
