Religious freedom in schools

Normally, I would be applauding such a decision given by the high courts, but now, having taught a few years in the system, I realize that this can only lead to abusing the ruling. I cna already see some kid stating that he won't get rid of his baseball cap or bandana because of his ghetto-pride religion. *sigh*

That's how it is folks. Kids these days (not all, mind you) believe they are smarter than teachers and try to use lame excuses. You put a hand on a kid's shoulder to lead him to class, he yells out not to touch him, as if you have bird-flu or some other communicable disease. The only communicable disease between that kid and myself is the diesease of sheer stupidity and he's the one who's got it. Now, with this ruling on religious artifacts, I can only imagine what new and fandangled logic they will come up with...

By the by, for those who are keeping track of things, tomorrow is field trip day, the end of Spirit Week. Hopefully, all will go well in each outing and I won't have to face a firing squad when I return from Spring Break. There will definitely be more pictures in the next few days. Maybe later tonight... depends how long I will last ce soir!
