SAY WHAT?

I saw this at 1360 ONLINE and I have just two word for the Croft family: "Up Yours".



"PARENTS TRY TO SILENCE MOMENT OF SILENCE _ A Texas family is suing Gov. Rick Perry and a school district over a state-mandated moment of silence in schools. David Wallace Croft and his wife, Shannon, of Carrollton, Texas, have three children (at Rosemeade Elementary) and argue that the moment of silence is unconstitutional and amounts to state-sanctioned school prayer. The couple has a history of complaints against religious-affiliated words and images in schools, having previously complained about Boy Scout rallies held during school, fliers sent home about Good News Bible Club meetings and the inclusion of "Silent Night" and a Hanukkah song in holiday concerts. A spokeswoman for the governor's office said the moment of silence law that the Crofts filed a suit against calls for students to observe a moment of silence after reciting pledges to the U.S. and Texas flags each day. She says students are encouraged to use the time to reflect on what they choose."

But I do have some other words about this for all of you gentle people and even those of you who are not so gentle...this has nothing to do with praying in a school. The guv just wanted to give the teachers at least a few moments of quiet every day. And it is just pretty gotdam obvious that the Croft bunch can't handle any quiet time...their teachers must not have put them in 'time out when they needed it. Back when I was a kid such going ons would have got their butts kicked..
