Mississippi School Board Banned Jewish Student From Wearing Star of David

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Did they really think the star of David was a 'gang symbol'?

They eventually figured it out after somebody gave the school board a history lesson.

Well lets be honest, how many people of Jewish faith would reside in Mississippi? Therefore, it's understandable that many might not be familiar with it there.

Freaky aint it?

Makes sense why the ALCU supports this. They seem to have a thing for gangs / organized crime and rights. Unlike the victims, they're people too you know.

I have a hunch that Ryan Green looked nothing like a gang member however, but that they couldn't make assumptions.

Sad that a religious symbol has been hijacked like that.

Wow that low. Money says there are ten fold gang members there of the other gang.

It's ####### like that why I loathe the ALCU. They jump on anything just to make a name for themselves. Common sense dictates why a teacher there would assume this is a gang symbol rather than a religious symbol. Where is the ACLU when it comes to a victim's rights, in particular right to be alive. ALCU? Hello? Anybody home? Oh that's right they prefer the status-quo version of freedom rather than the first world definition of literal right to be free of harm.

Under the ACLU charter, it's evidently deemed more worthy to advocate for someone to be able flop their ####### in public than be able to walk down a street without fear of harm or violence. The latter is apparently just Orwellian in nature. No dh's it's called the first world.

I noticed that you misspelled it twice but got it right once. I guess that means I can count too! Gave up trying to speak logically to you. It serves no useful purpose and wastes a lot of time, like teaching a snail to waltz.

I think it is telling that steve had to go back more than 10 years to find this story.

HAd he been searching for Little Christian children having their rights stepped would have been a whole lot easier.

God Bless the ACLU. Where would we be without 'em?

Looking at Nativity displays in town halls?

It's called being smart-enough to use a netbook at work, linked via a VPN session, to my home network. Thus, bypassing any corporate rules. Naturally with a screen so small, spelling mistakes do happen. Not to mention, I don't have the time to go and proofread everything.

I love it when legacy members with new screenames get all witty; reminds me of the old days. Especially the members who do everything they can to stay anonymous, yet talk a big game.

You haven't said one thing over x years that I could sell for 1 cent, evidently this still stands. Like many of the legacy members, you like to throw out insults and never back them up using actual credentials, wealth etc etc etc.
