Hary Potter books?
What about students that are "forced" to read Harry Potter books in class? ROTFLMAO!!!! Compared to having to read Chaucer in Ancient English? Get serious. Primary education is the time to challenge beliefs, to teach kids critical thinking. The books they read should be exactly those that cause them to think, question and temper their beliefs.

Quoting the ACLJ will not be much of a rebuttal
The ACLJ, beyond being a reactionary organization, is replete with propaganda and misinformation. Just look at the quote you supplied.
Such programs usually cross over from objective teaching to advocating amorality. And their evidence is?
Appeal to your school board that the course undermines parental authority by implying to students that everyone their age is having sex, or by teaching that homosexuality is normal, or by telling students that they can easily and confidentially arrange abortions without their parents' knowledge. And their evidence is? To imply that ACLJ has anything to do with Law is also questionable. It is but the tool of the New American Taliban.

We are expected to be tolerant of alternative lifestyles and to accept this into our childrens culture yet Christian morals are not accepted into the culture. Christian Morality is certainly accepted into the culture. Christian Bigotry is not!
There IS such a thing as secular "religion" and we won't tolerate it either! Say it often enough and folk will begin to believe it.

Yes, Jay Seculow scares me. IMHO he is unprincipled and a bigot.

Re: What is the ACLJ anyway?
It is an arm of Pat Robertson designed to use Law, Suits and legislation to further Evangelical Christian Dogma. See their website Their Mission Statement:
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is committed to insuring the ongoing viability of constitutional freedoms. By specializing in constitutional law, the ACLJ is dedicated to the concept that freedom and democracy are God-given inalienable rights that must be protected. The ACLJ engages in litigation, provides legal services, renders advice, counsels clients, provides education, and supports attorneys who are involved in defending the religious and civil liberties of Americans. As a non-profit organization, the ACLJ does not charge for its services and is dependent upon God and the resources He provides through the time, talent, and gifts of people who share our concerns and desire to protect our religious and constitutional freedoms.

Re: even YEC believe in "evolution"
Majority rules, and as long as we have a majority, I will encourage freedom of my religion...and anyone who wants the state to supercede my God will have to get the voting power back to do so. Until then, deal with it! Sorry but that is a gross mistatement of the political system in the US, thank GOD. The Majority does NOT rule and our system of Government is specifically set up to protect us from such a majority.
