Declaration of Independence Banned at Calif School

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Even I think this is incredibly idiotic.

So which far lefties and Democrats here are in favor of this?

wonderful strawmen arguments here, especially in agcat's first post. Not a single Democrat here has come out in favor of this. And I'll be not a single prominemnt Democrat politician will either. So how are we to blame?

There was a case in Arkansas where an openly gay student was tormented by his teachers. They encouraged other students to make fun of him, and at one point forced him to come in front of class and read a selection of Bible verses about how homosexuality is an abomination and punishable by death and all that. Did we blame the national Republican party? No, becuase they had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was handled properly. The school district got a huge lawsuit and those teachers are now unemployed. How are the Senate Democrats to blame for this now? Why not do what we do and put blame where it's do?

Great logic though, next Senate election some voter will think "Hmm, I heard out in some school in California a teacher was prohibited from handing out copies of the Declaration of Indepence because it mentioned God in it, I guess I have to vote for the Republican now, even though the Democratic candidate has absolutely nothing to do with this!"

Let me make it clear to all conservatives: I THINK THIS IS ING STUPID.

Now let me hear more nonsense about how all Democrats are in favor of this.

The Dems have nothing to do with this. But what scares me is that some of the judges they appoint have this kind of a philosophy (just like "under God" in the pledge).

I don't even think 1% of Democrats would agree with this.

Wait-- I just thought of the ONE "Democrat" who might support this! OPEBO!

the judge who wrote the decision on the Under God deal was a Nixon appointee.

wonderful strawmen arguments here,

Wow, why to condemn the strawman arguments and then make your own.  Way to go, BRTD, for the most hypocritical post of the day. 

What is being said in this thread is that the mainstream democratic party has to come out strongly against this or the Republicans can and damn well will paint the entire party as being in favor of banning the DoI.

I guarantee that if any resolution comes out like one against the Under God, the Democrats will not oppose it. However, we just can't call a press conference and go on national TV about how one principal is an idiot.

Did we demand the national Republicans come out strongly with the situation on the gay student? No, because IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, JUST AS THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEMOCATIC PARTY.

My argument wasn't a strawman though, go read agcat's post on page 3.
