There’s been an ugly tug-of-war over prayer in schools<\/a> going on at Pace High School<\/a>, Pace, Florida. That issue is not something Florida Citizens for Science gets involved in; however, Dr. Dino apparently has no problems connecting school prayer to a certain subject taught in public schools. Can you guess what that subject is? Kent Hovind wrote an open letter<\/a> (from his jail cell<\/a>) to the school’s principal about it:<\/p>\n

From what I can glean from the newspaper articles that have been sent to me (I know, never trust what you read in the paper \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I quit taking it when my parakeet died), it seems that Judge Rodgers ruled that school officials could not endorse religion or talk about their religious beliefs within the school\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cases or at school sponsored events. If what I read on LifeSiteNews.com, June 4, is true, ACLU attorney Benjamin Stevenson said school officials have a responsibility to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153protect the silently held religious views of others\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and to be sure that no one will \u00e2\u20ac\u0153impose their religious views\u00e2\u20ac\u009d on others. One headline read, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Religion Banned from Santa Rosa Schools.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

If this is indeed what the court and the ACLU intend then you need to begin removing the religion of evolution from your school\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s textbooks, tests, classes, and videos shown in class immediately! You certainly don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to be held in contempt of court!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He then goes on to give advice on how to do this. Good grief. (h\/t Disptaches<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
