In the United States, we need a religious bill of rights about as much as we need a white people’s bill of rights, or a men’s bill of rights. That is, not at all: when 90+ percent of the country claims to be religious, you pretty much run the joint anyway. Worse, we hardly need something like this for public schools. There already are pretty clear laws about how religion can and cannot be treated in the schools.
Still, that hasn’t stopped people in Colorado from proposing just such a bill for public schools in the state legislature, a bill which may be presented to the Judiciary Committee as early as Monday, today. Note that this bill represents an act and not a law. Nothing in it is legally enforceable, as far as I can tell. Good thing, too.
The bill is ridiculous in a lot of ways, but two things stand out: one is that it simply isn’t needed — most of the rights it seems so concerned over are already guaranteed and under no threat at all — and the other is that it oversteps the bounds maintained by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
i’m constantly wandering about the net just about all of the morning as a result I choose to browse a lot, which unfortunately isnt usually a beneficial factor as the majority of the online resources I see are made up of unnecessary crap copied from some other internet websites a zillion times, nonetheless I gotta give you props this site is in truth not bad at all and even includes a bit of genuine content, for that reason kudos for breaking up the trends of basically copying other individual’s websites, in case you ever wanna have fun with playing a couple of hands of myspace poker together just gimme a shout – you have my email address 🙂
Hey…thanks for that. Great content material. I’ll be checking back shortly for much more information. Cheers!
