[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't this against the law? This group is encouraging children to bring their (overwhelmingly Christian) bibles to school on Thursday. I thought there was supposed to separation of church and state in this country. Now were going to have kids trot out their bibles to show (and imply) that other kids (say Jewish, or other religions) are wrong?

If I had school-age kids, I'd keep them home that day. ([b]I'm Jewish.[/b])

Sorry you feel so horrible about yourself. Get over it.

That's quite an unfounded (and rude) assumption. I happen to think I follow a wonderful religion (hence my decision to follow it).

But I've also been on the receiving end of conversion attempts, and while most people are respectful, I've run into some hostile people who have told me some pretty scary things about what happens to Jews after they die. While I have the wherewithal to laugh it off (internally), an elementary school child does not. We should not be setting up opportunities for children to tell other children that their religion is wrong, and this bible school day opens a path to that. [/quote]
