Pleased to see that the FFRF is reminding schools not to mix religion with school, and advising them of what the law is.
Of course, we know there will be a backlash from the fundevangelicals, but their sects never do accept that church and state really, really have to stay separate.

I can see this being helpful to the Creationist kiddie - indoctrination program, though. They will find a way around it and gaggles of schoolkids will find themselves being taken around the Ark and the Creationist museum and into the lecture hall to be told: "Don't listen to the atheist scientists- listen to God".
But it will have a backlash. If they did have any questions at the time, they will get one of the stock answers from "God can do anything" to "Satan is trying to mislead you". But they will find out (and we will do our best to help with that) that they have been lied to and they will be very annoyed.

From the FFRF letter sent to the schools:
"Ham is free to erect monuments to the bible, but public schools are not permitted to expose the children in their charge to religious myths and proselytizing. So, public schools cannot organize trips for students to either the Creation Museum or the Ark Park. Doing so would violate the students’ rights of conscience and the U.S. Constitution."
That's kind of hypocritical that children are not allowed to be exposed to "religious myths" (as if they can actually prove they are "myths"), but children are allowed to be exposed to atheist myths such as evolution (which is proven to be false) and the like, but that doesn't violate student's rights.

FFRF are putting it their way rather than the Constitution -based way, as they are entitled to do. And their stance owhich is Myth -based and which is supported by sound evidence is amply supported by the poor showing you have made in the recent evolution thread, the past Flood threads, the last 'Temple' thread and pretty much every other one you gave participated in, and you don't make it any better by your ongoing refusal to admit you got beat and can can only field cries of "Baloney" and "Oh it's so obvious" headslaps

You just can't admit you were wrong on the evolution, past flood and last Temple threads can you?
