12 Students Suspended for Praying at School
"Cops" is basically a codeword for authority figures......at least that is the context I intended.
12 Students Suspended for Praying at School
A dozen students attending Heritage High School in Vancouver, Wash., located on the state’s southern border, were suspended on Friday for praying at school.
Ten in the group were suspended for ten days while two received one-day, in-school suspensions for holding a morning prayer meeting. The group has now sought out legal assistance.
“This situation underscores the ignorance of school officials regarding the constitutional rights of students," said Liberty Counsel President Anita L. Staver in a statement. Liberty Counsel is a nonprofit litigation, education and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom.
According to the group’s statement, the affected students had met together a few weeks ago to initiate a school prayer club. They were refused by the school’s vice principal, Alex Otoupal, who explained that they could not meet in a private room.
The individuals, who met for about two weeks before 7 a.m., decided to pray in the school cafeteria, instead, where an alleged Satanist student complained to the school office. The area was considered to be a well-trafficked area, and the prayer meeting supposedly would disrupt education
The prayer group was instructed by the vice principal to go and pray outside rather than in the cafeteria. The students persisted in praying in the lunch room, however, because of the inclement weather outside. As a result, they were suspended for ten days.
If you say so. Problem is...I can read.
Exhibit #1:
"Ten in the group were suspended for ten days while two received one-day, in-school suspensions for holding a morning prayer meeting. The group has now sought out legal assistance."
Exhibit #2:
"The prayer group was instructed by the vice principal to go and pray outside rather than in the cafeteria. The students persisted in praying in the lunch room, however, because of the inclement weather outside. As a result, they were suspended for ten days."
Point being that the students were told not to pray in public in the school after being told they couldn't do it in private in the school. The fact that they were told to go outside to do it matters a damn because the vice-principle was infringing on their Constitutionally guaranteed right to free expression of their religion and the fact that there is no mention of a separation of church and state in the Constitution. They had every right to peaceably assemble for a quick prayer regardless how much it twisted the atheists panties in a wad.
And yes....despite your protestations to the contrary...they were suspended.
