Chocolate Acres

Chocolate Acres is the name of the Polson family 'hobby' farm near Minneapolis, MN. I expect that most of my postings will be primarily about faith, politics, family, and old farm equipment.

Where will we go from here

It’s hard to know where to start with this story (Another Hat Tip to Tongue Tied – the best blog on the net written by an atheist). It used to be that you had to at least mention religion, faith, or a creator to violate the establishment clause. Now it looks like, at least according to some Yankees, that all you have to do is come from South Carolina and value abstinence for children. You can read the article here.

"Lawyers at the Rhode Island affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union first complained last year that a now-abandoned textbook used by Heritage of Rhode Island taught students that girls should wear clothing that doesn't invite "lustful thoughts" from boys. The book described men as "strong" and "courageous" while women were called "caring."....

Pawtucket's top school official complained that he was duped by Heritage officials and halted the program even before a parent complained to the ACLU. "We really don't promulgate any religious opinion in this school system” …

"Out of the box from South Carolina, things just didn't translate here," Plante said."....

My atheist friend at Tongue Tied made the best comment:

It looks like we REALLY have an established church in Rhode Island. You can teach feminism but not traditional values. And describing traditional values as "religious" is just a ploy. I am an atheist and I have similar values so it is nonsense. It is a partisan attack on the values that got us to where we are today, full stop. But Rhode Island clearly bows down to the established church of Leftism.

Where will the country go if all Christian values are banned?
