Tumbleweed and Mball and MW0082 - I didn't give my opinion on any of the articles posted - I simply said that these types of articles are what fuel fear of religious persection.
]Did you even read any of those articles?? You're not doing a very good job in proving a point. In the majority of those cases it had nothing to do with religion or practice there of, it was general rules the schools had and they pertain ironically to a religous aspect. Such as rosery beads or a girl styanding in the middle of a cafeteria. Again nothing to do with religion. your exaggerated the situation to help your cause,....:no:
You apparently are approaching my posts on this from a biased perspective. I did not say that anyone's fears were completely reasonable - all I did was post headlines and say "This is why people get concerned about the infringement of religious freedoms." You are slapping your preconceived notions on my post. :no:
Yes, I did read the articles - every one of them. Some of them are understandable examples of school discipline, and others are examples of restrictions of religious freedom, or at the least terrible judgement on the part of teachers or administration.
Religion should be allowed to be practiced everywhere, as long as it does not interfer with the day to day lives of others around them. Then thats when it should be limited and kept at bay. I think you have a huge misunderstanding of what ones individual rights to religion are and the safety of others.....
Why do you think I have a huge misunderstanding when it comes to the rights and safety of others? What do you base this assertion on?
p.s. what is wrong with the girl who got to wear her Pentagon in school to honor her religion? So you feel only a sepcif religion should be allowed in school?
Pentagram. The Pentagon is the US military headquarters.
Wow - where do you get this stuff? What on earth in my post would make you assume that I feel that only specific religions should be protected?
