Lemmings on Parade: Separation?? Of WHAT??? |
Posted by

Ms. Magazine… Hey I was bored and it was reading material… that's all you need to know…
Baton Rouge, LA… A school principal gave out Christmas presents… This in and of itself… is questionable… BUT the state does have parishes instead of counties… so that is not too far out of bounds…
He gives… to ALL of his students… BIBLES. This seems to be a breech to me, but I might be wrong… SO. We continue with the story.
Hesen Jabr, a practicing Muslim, refused to take the bible, as this was a direct affront to his beliefs. John Cotton, the principal said "Just take it." The girl, being true to her beliefs still refused to take the bible.
If giving out the bibles was not crossing the line, urging her to "just take it" seems to be a sever breech of etiquette to me. NOW. This girl is the subject of persecution and ridicule in her school… she's marked as a "Jesus Hater." And, I hear tell, worse.
BUT WAIT!!! THERE'S MORE! Her mother has already complained about the "gift" and five days later… her teacher leads the class in a religious quiz game. She asked Hesen to keep score because, "she might not know many of the answers."
Did I miss something here? Isn't it illegal to do this kind of shit? Didn't we flee England to start a country where this shit did not happen? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?
Oh, and the ACLU is filing charges on her behalf… at least someone from my home state has a mind aside from me…

ok, the gifts I don't mind. I mean, it is his choice after all, if he wants to give gifts to the students. Now the bibles, ok, maybe a bit too far, but again his choice of gift, just perhaps he shouldn't have given them out on school grounds. Now the rest is unforgivable, I mean, I expect her to get shit from the students, it's school, you get shit for doing anything that isn't conformist, but the teachers helping!?! What the hell are they thinking? I hope either she gets a little money out of this, or the teachers get some serious penalties here.

That is absolutely freaking RIDICULOUS. UNACCEPTABLE. PERIOD.
He crossed the line at least twice...no, THREE TIMES...one, observing a religious holiday on government property, TWO, distributing religious propaganda on government property, and THREE, disregarding and contributing to an unfriendly and potentially dangerous and humiliating enviroment of a young girl.
How dare he. It's not "iffy". He should be fired, as well as the teacher involved in singling out and humiliating her in front of her classmates and contributing to a hostile anti-semetic (or is that only relating to jews?) sentiment in a government educational system.
Am I the only one that smells bullshit instead of just a stinky catbox?
Money isn't the answer, she should be relocated to another school at the administration's expense and the principal and teacher should be CANNED, as well as a religious diversity system put in place to this obvious hayseed backwater buttbumpkin honkeytonk shithole that allows this kind of crap to HAPPEN! And like it's no big deal!
it's preposterous. Not to stereotype, but I'd be on needles if I pissed of an arab...they've got peeps messier than the mob.
Jyhad anyone?
IF I had children, darling little laveyian satan children, and some anal prudish xian coalition jackass insisted MY child "just take" a bible, I would be all over that like crows on roadkill!
They'd wish they never heard the term "bible belt"....
ridiculous *grumble*
