(8,421 posts)so I hope here is ok.
I just got a little booklet in the mail, sent to all school admins. from an anonymous donor who is worried about 'abridgement and censorship' of our Constitutionally protected 'freedom of speech and right to religious expression' in the nation's 100,000 PUBLIC schools.
It came from a group called the Liberty Counsel (any group who uses counsel and not council is already suspect to me...)
Any booklet called the Patriot's Handbook...to anything...is suspect to me. I tossed it.
Then I looked the group up online (I'm sorry I did now) and found this (in regards to the Chik-fil-a controversy)...
"In the wake of the Penn State scandal surrounding Jerry Sanduskys homosexual assault on dozens of young boys, the Boy Scouts of America moved to protect children by re-affirming its prohibition against scoutmasters who live a homosexual lifestyle. Although they didnt expressly indicate that Penn State influenced their decision, there can be little doubt it did.
As with the Chick-fil-A debacle, libs lost their collective noodle. Apparently, the only thing they hate more than Chick-fil-A is a morally straight 12-year-old who strives for integrity and merit.
So heres my proposal: Dont let a bunch of uber-obnoxious, loud-mouthed liberal pansies intimidate you. Theyre nothing but a wet paper tiger. On Wednesday, Aug. 1, have your kids wear their Boy Scout uniforms to Chick-fil-A. Scoutmasters, bring em all.
I'll put the link, but jeez-o-pete, what a bunch of fundie sickos out there!

(I had never heard of Liberty Counsel, so if I'm late to the 'show' and this is old news, I apologize.)
