Reply #8: be careful, this is how it starts

I'm currently a sub teacher in the public schools system...a few years ago, some RW 'patriotic' group began to go around to all the local school systems with their "God Bless America/In God We Trust/One Nation Under God" posters all under the guise of 'educating children about our national heritage'...

Of course, the group made it 'completely voluntary' for schools to post the posters--that's their legal loophole, but once they cropped up in one school, NO principal wanted to be the odd man/woman out and have to deal with freep parents...So now, EVERY public school I've been in for a 45-mile radius has at least 1-2 posters in the main office or hallway....

It gets better--Not long after this started, another group started to use the same 'voluntary' clause to start posting the 10 commandments(!) in schools...It hasn't caught on as fast as the previous scheme, but there are several schools with them posted in the hallways....
