there are 'churches' that exist to challenge local governments (particularly school boards) over religious discrimination. Once the school board starts explicitly handing out religious holidays, they've already lost. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has designated 365 religious holidays a year- good luck to a teacher who wants to assign any work in a school system that has explicitly stated that religious holidays will be honored [/quote]

It seems like your faith in people (not to mention your opinion of people of faith) must be pretty low.[/quote]

my faith in local politicians dealing with anything concerning religion is very low [/quote]

Are local politicians going to claim flying spaghetti monster days off? Sounds like many people on here don't have a problem with religion, but with unreligious people who abuse the idea of religion. Or you're all just mocking religion for fun. I'm really at a loss as to why there's so much hostility and animosity.[/quote]

We are trying to protect our taxpayer dollars. There is a separation of church and state in this country, including in our public schools. You may find the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster silly but historically they have saved school districts from implementing creationism education. This is a constitutional issue so when some kid wears a spaghetti strainer hat to school during a calculus exam because "you don't recognize national cheese pizza day!" then you just lost a lawsuit including paying out attorney's fees. Good luck telling a court that a church or religion is bs![/quote]
