Third Circuit Court of Appeals Rules in Favor of Freedom of any Religion Except Christianity

In an appalling ruling by the Third Circuit Federal Appeals Court, allowing a Kindergartener’s Mom to read Psalm 118 out of the Bible, the favorite book, during an “all about me” classroom activity, has been decided unconstitutional. The object of the classroom activity was to feature the student’s personal characteristics, preferences and personality in classroom activities.” When this student’s personality included Bible reading, however, the exercise came to an abrupt halt. Other students were allowed to celebrate their love of Halloween and Judaism, but Christianity and the Bible were off limits, according to the court, based on “separation of Church and State.”

What kind of a message does this send to the students in this classroom during this activity which is meant to celebrate the individual students on a very personal level? That there is something very, very wrong with Christianity and the Bible – so wrong, in fact, that they are not allowed in the classroom. The students have now been led to believe that this Christian student’s beliefs are so radical that they should be marginalized. Basically, in this case, the Bible has been treated in a similar manner as so-called “hate speech,” which is “wrong,” and students are learning that secularism, humanism, and godlessness, the state religion, is the new “right” way to believe and think. They learned that the celebration of “holidays” which glorify witchcraft, as well as the religious views of American minorites should be tolerated, but that the religious views of the majority of Americans will not be tolerated.
