Others have also felt the frustration of ignorant souls who use the phrase "separation of church and state." Here is a an excerpt from a great article:
Let’s consider the 2002 case of Kala Brotos, a five-year old kindergarten student from Saratoga Springs, NY. Before eating her lunch, little Kala simply prayed out loud and gave thanks for her meal. Her teacher then scolded her before the entire the class, claiming that Kala violated the separation of church and state – Roger Baldwin’s version, that is. The teacher even claimed that Kala committed a “crime against humanity.”

A beauty of a post from another blog!
A snippet from one of my favorite blogs . . . . the whole post can be seen by clicking on the Discover Christian Schools blog on the right.
How many Christian parents are failing their children on an issue with eternal stakes far greater than digital TV? This Christmas, how many Christian parents will sacrifice to provide their children with new toys, outfits, and electronic gadgets, while failing to provide what their children need most—the one thing God has commanded parents to provide for their children—a knowledge of God, a Biblical worldview?
How many Christian parents who would never, knowingly place their child in physical danger, will more than willingly place their highly impressionable children in spiritual danger every day in a public school system which must, by law, teach moral relativism? How many Christian parents will continue to enroll their intellectually curious children in a public school system which must, by law, artificially remove the truth of God from every academic subject, and which must, by law, remain not neutral (for neutrality when it comes to God is impossible) but anti-God (for acknowledging the creation without acknowledging the Creator is the epitome of idolatry)?

Ultimate in hypocrisy!
Great article about how those at the highest level that advocate public education are the very ones that will not use it, inlcuding our new president. Click Here
Here's an excerpt: Many Members of Congress choose private schools for their children. Senators Edward Kennedy and Hillary Clinton have been outspoken opponents of school choice yet have sent their children to private schools. According to a 2007 Heritage Foundation survey, "...37 percent of representatives and 45 percent of senators in the 110th Congress sent their children to private schools -- almost four times the rate of the general population." Yet many of them vote against letting the rest of us have the same choice.

Halloween is bringing out the loonies . . . .
I guess this kid would have been better off dressing as Buddha - read here.
On a more serious note, another tidbit of craziness from the California public school system. Here is to hoping that Proposition 8 passes - I guess for the sake of kindergartners - read here.
