RE: FYI: An Interesting "See You at the Pole" Case

[Joel Sogol]

I don’t think I even implied that Rick approved of the conduct – only that he views it as part of the larger price Jews must pay for sending our children to public schools.  Having reread some of his posts, I still read it that way. I don’t agree.  I think the schools can, and must, protect my children from the type of conduct (proselytizing) he seems to feel is protected.  And I think that is what I said.    Joel L. Sogol Attorney at Law 811 21st Avenue Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35401 ph (205) 345-0966 fx (205) 345-0971 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Ben Franklin observed that truth wins a fair fight -- which is why we have evidence rules in U.S. courts.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad M Pardee Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 4:44 PM To: Law & Religion issues for Law Academics Subject: RE: FYI: An Interesting "See You at the Pole" Case   Joel, Not that Rick needs me to defend him, but I don't think this is a fair characterization of what Rick has said.  He's been quite explicit that, if a person doesn't want to discuss the issue, then nobody should force the discussion.  And he hasn't even come close to suggesting that there is any justification for physically abusing children.  It would seem to me that fair-mindedness requires a response to what he has actually advocated instead of something he has never advocated and I think I can confidently say, never would. Brad Joel wrote: Rick will continue to say my children must be hassled and in some cases physically abused as the cost of public school accommodation to free speech and the religion clause.
