Religion Makes You Fail At Life

Well that’s what some in a Wisconsin school would have you believe. Full Story

According to the lawsuit, the student’s art teacher asked his class in February to draw landscapes. The student, a senior identified in the lawsuit by the initials A.P., added a cross and the words “John 3:16 A sign of love” in his drawing.

His teacher, Julie Millin, asked him to remove the reference to the Bible, saying students were making remarks about it. He refused, and she gave him a zero on the project.

Millin showed the student a policy for the class that prohibited any violence, blood, sexual connotations or religious beliefs in artwork. The lawsuit claims Millin told the boy he had signed away his constitutional rights when he signed the policy at the beginning of the semester.

The boy tore the policy up in front of Millin, who kicked him out of class. Later that day, assistant principal Cale Jackson told the boy his religious expression infringed on other students’ rights.

So at what point to “religious individuals” get to have rights. It would appear to me(under the guise of common sense) that is was the boy who was told to alter his artwork had his rights infringed. Why are his rights of expression any less valuable than the rights the others students have?

I applaud the young man for his courage and fortitude. I especially love that he tore the policy letter up in front of the teacher.

We need to stand up for our Constitutional Rights and stop letting this P.C. world tear us down.

So I say down with the P.C. and up with C.S.

Who’s with me?
