I had a crazy school board meeting to cover tonight. All of my brain cells went to dissolving 90 minutes of ranting into a newspaper article.
The Diet Coke and cookies once I got home helped a little.
I'm not quite sure where I stand, but I'm pretty certain I disagree with 99 percent of the people who chose to speak at the meeting.
This is what I know.
Bible study should not be taught in public schools. The Constitution says so. That is what churches, Sunday schools, private schools and homes are for.
There are ways to teach children to be kind, decent, loving human beings without the Bible.
And my opinion is definitely the minority around here.
This is what started it all:

I am a Christian and I know where I stand in my faith. But this news really made me take a stance in religion and schools. They should be and stay separate. It'll be interesting to see what my church friends say about this. Most have kids at Fairfield.
