Incredibly sick brain washing seemingly designed to foster fanaticism.
Prayer has no place in public schools. Just like facts have no place in organised religion.

How can these "adults", who are entrusted with the well-being of children, sleep at night? This is abuse. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Because they were brainwashed as children to believe this is right.

Well, that was bizarre. Was Bush supposed to have actually been there & didn't show or something? What was up with the cardboard cut-out? [smilie=quoi.gif]

Hmm. Cardboard cutout, eh?

Just checking - has anyone actually stuck a pin in the one in the Oval Office? Checked his limbs for strings being held by Dick Cheney in an upstairs room?

Could explain a lot.

Baloo, when I do click on the little youtube icon, I don't see a url for it. Don't know why.

This is not abuse! Would you rather they go around goth-bashing?

Why do people find this so bad? The kids aren't being fiddled, hurt or anything else!

Strange people. Where are the kids' parents? Have to wonder if they know this is happening? And if they do, do they really find this acceptable?

I beg to differ! In teaching your children, you are indoctrinating them. You may think what you are being teaching them is light and fullness, others may think different.

The fact that you are begging to differ and arguing your side of the case in a coherent and logical manner rather proves our point....

Now now, BFG, don't be patronising...

So, FB, you think that the indoctrination of the Hitler Youth was ok and should have been encouraged?

So, you're saying that because a bunch of mad bastards think it's ok then you shouldn't criticise it?

i'm sorry, but that is just plain wrong. the definitions of teaching and indoctrination are quite different, let alone the psychological processes involved.

methinks thou art just stirring the shyte.
