Giving atheists a bad name

Idiot couple in Texas sue a school and the governor over a moment of silence in schools. Fox News:

    A Texas family is suing Gov. Rick Perry and a school district over a state-mandated moment of silence in schools, according to The Dallas Morning News.

    David Wallace Croft and his wife, Shannon, of Carrollton, Texas, have three children at Rosemeade Elementary and argue that the moment of silence is unconstitutional and amounts to state-sanctioned school prayer.

    The couple has a history of complaints against religious affiliated words and images in schools, having previously complained about Boy Scout rallies held during school, fliers sent home about Good News Bible Club meetings and the inclusion of "Silent Night" and a Hanukkah song in holiday concerts, according to report.

This is the key sentence in the story:

"The couple has a history of complaints against religious affiliated words and images "

These people are just like women who have to have a two name hyphenated last name, to give them an identity otherwise they simply don't exist.

I dislike people like this. And Don, I'm not a betting man but I bet you agree.

Well...

I think I agree. The Libertarian in me says we should have no religion in public schools. I'm secular and mistrust anyone who isn't because they are neglecting thousands of years of what history teaches us.

That said, anyone who would sue over a moment of silence is nothing more than an agitator. Put the damned brats into a private school and shut up.
