Lawsuit says school violated free-speech rights

Here's another case of Reuters sticking a serious American political issue in their "Oddly Enough" section. Those krauts at Reuters have no respect for their audience. A Pennsyvania school district violated the free speech rights of a parent who wanted to read from the bible in front of her child's class. She was visiting the class for "Me Week", which gives parents the opportunity to read in class from one of her child's favorite books. She wanted to read Psalm no. 118, but the principle of the school stopped her. He said it was a violation of separation of church and state. Now we at the Cult of 7G are familiar with the Constitution, and nowhere can the phrase "separation of church and state" be found in that document. It does say, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Ironically, the left uses an amendment intended to protect free speech in order to infringe upon it. These people suggest that just referencing a particular religion, or exposing students to it is an endorsement. Then why is it okay for schools to promote Islam? Either way, it's apples and oranges. This lady was reading from a book in school. This wasn't the school endorsing anything. They gave her a platform to read a book, and she chose the Bible. I could understand them stopping her if her child's favorite book was a Larry Flynt publication, but how is reading her kid's favorite psalm hurting anybody? If it had been the Koran, they probably wouldn't have batted an eyelash.
