(I'm not > religious, but come on....some teacher wears a cross > around her neck and > this infringes on my child's freedom HOW?) Less so on the child per-se than on yours ... your freedom to raise your children as you see fit, not as the masses or the government see fit -- although that brings up other problems with the government being too involved in education. The example I loved was the cop in TX who thought it would be great to wear a cross on his uniform while he was on duty. Thankfully they fired him. His justification "it will help people feel more comfortable that I'm there to help them when they see it". Yea... Gonna make the wiccan's next door _REAL_ comfortable when you come to their door. He also saw it as a "personal expression" -- but imo a "civil servant" (cop) gives up the right to self expression while they are in the service -- in their off time they can build 100 foot tall solid gold crosses in their back yard for all I care, but when they're on-duty, their ass belongs to the public. If they don't like it, they can quit. Same basic principal applies for teachers. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:156785 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
