Blogging For Liberty

A dear friend sent me this link. I was rather intrigued to see that finally, the First Amendment nonsense that the ACLU uses against Christians was used FOR a Christian law suit. I can’t help but wonder what the ACLU thinks about this? I read this through and was taken back 6 years. My oldest daughter used to attend public schools. One day she came home in tears because her teacher had told her that she could no longer wear her icthus necklace. Apparantly, a young Muslim boy attended her school and had complained that it offended him to see it worn. In an effort to avoid a lawsuit, they asked that my daughter no longer wear her necklace. I was infuriated, but my ex-husband would not allow ne to press the issue, making our daughter a “poster child for First Amendment rights”. Three weeks later, I happened upon a young boy walking down the hallway of her school, carrying a mat. I asked him where he was going. He replied that he was on his way to the gym to attend to his prayers. It seemed that i had encountered the very same young man that had been offended by my daughter’s simple display of faith! The school insisted that they could not infringe upon his religious freedom to go pray in the gym, but had refused my daughter’s right to express her faith through a simple accessory. I can’t help but wonder why her faith was denied, but his was allowed to be expressed. Does the Muslim faith or any other not violate the same “seperation of church and state” that the ACLU screams about?

To see a win like this for the Christian faith is good. For far too long, our rights have been trampled on.

It’s not too late to stand up for our faith and let the world know that we will not be denied!
