Separation Of Church And State And Sanity

Faced with a request from the Council on American Islamic Relations for school recognition of a Muslim holiday -- the last day of Ramadan -- a school board in Florida has decided to drop Good Friday, Yom Kippur and the day after Easter instead.

Schools are increasingly a religion-free zone, and as a result, they are also free of serious teaching of citizenship and morality.

Kudos to the board for not letting the Muslims in. We are a Judeo-Christian society, and their vote was in a way a brave stand against the dilution of our great culture and the moral principles on which it stands. It is sad that the only way to stand up for Judeo-Christian values in public education is to banish them.

CAIR will not go quietly into the night. This has the stench of an ACLU campaign against crosses and the Ten Commandments. WND points out:

CAIR's chairman of the board, Omar Ahmad, was cited by a California newspaper in 1998 declaring the Quran should be America's highest authority. He also was reported to have said Islam is not in America to be equal to any other religion but to be dominant.

CAIR will push again and again until they find chicken school boards and idiot judges who they will use to force their unwanted religion into our system.

What next? Militant Buddhists? Activist witches? A "Coyote-Created-Earth Day" to honor the Sioux?

It could be any of the above, but we can predict with certainty that the answer to "What next?" will not be "common sense."
