Religion In The Schools

The Christians lie about their intent in the name of their Lord, Jesus Christ. They disparage the beliefs (or lack thereof) for anyone but themselves. They are selfish - demanding that everyone else in the world pay homage to their religious beliefs. And they are forcing all Americans to bend to their will, despite constitutional protections that separate church and state. Isn't it a great set of beliefs that promote all of these sins?

A Carrollton couple has appealed a federal judge's decision upholding the constitutionality of a state law requiring school children to observe a daily moment of silence to pray or meditate.

David and Shannon Croft filed their initial lawsuit after they said one of their children was told by an elementary schoolteacher to keep quiet because the minute is a "time for prayer."

The complaint, filed in 2006, named Gov. Rick Perry and the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District, which the Crofts' three children attended in the suburbs of Dallas.

District Judge Barbara Lynn upheld the constitutionality of the law earlier this month, concluding that "the primary effect of the statute is to institute a moment of silence, not to advance or inhibit religion."

The Crofts' attorney appealed the decision to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, The Dallas Morning News reported in its online edition Thursday.
