Journal GMontag's Journal: New Column by the Hottest Chick On Earth 15
September 24, 2003
by Ann Coulter, Hottest Chick on Earth
Thanks to the vigilance of an alert teacher at Lynn Lucas Middle School outside of Houston, two sisters carrying Bibles were prevented from bringing their vile material into a classroom. The teacher stopped the students at the classroom door and marched them to the principal's office. (Maybe it was just the sight of public school students carrying a book of any kind that set off alarm bells.) The sisters' mother was called and warned that the school intended to report her to Child Protective Services. When the mother arrived, the teacher threw the Bibles in the wastebasket, shouting, "This is garbage!"

Between issuing laws prohibiting discrimination against transgendered individuals and running up a $38 billion deficit, the California Legislature mandated a three-week immersion course in Islam for all seventh-graders. A "crash course" in Islam, you might call it, if that weren't so ironic. Students are required to adopt Muslim names, plan a trip to Mecca, play a jihad game, pray to "Allah, the Compassionate" and to chant "Praise to Allah! Lord of Creation!" They are encouraged to dress in Muslim garb. Students are discouraged, however, from stoning girls at the school dances, abusing their "Jew" math teachers or blowing up their classmates.

Lets, see if we can start some book burning too! Ooo, the liberals salivate at that! Think of it, we could all get together, burn some bibles, Christmas carols, and all sorts of other religious books (like any 12-step book)... yeah, then we could really flex our hate and intolerance!
Oh wait, being liberal means caring, compassion, understanding and tolerance. my bad.

So long as you name the event the "Robert C. Byrd Memorial Book Burning" I'm sure he'll attend.
Cheers, and thanx for the hyperbole. =)
Ms. Coulter's Rhetoric (Score:1)
In a public school in St. Louis, a teacher spotted the suspect, fourth-grader Raymond Raines, bowing his head in prayer before lunch. The teacher stormed to Raymond's table, ordered him to stop immediately and sent him to the principal's office. The principal informed the young malefactor that praying was not allowed in school. When Raymond was again caught praying before meals on three separate occasions, he was segregated from other students, ridiculed in front of his classmat

This book certainly doesn't, because it's only purpose is to couterdict with it's own fiery rherotic the overly hyped and overly extreme leftist promotion of Seperation of Church and State.
I would like to see a non-biased investigation as to the REAL treatment of Christian kids in public schools.
I submit that the "problem" decried by Ms. Coulter

Just as it is a FACT that:
Raines v Cleveland Young was never filed, ad Raymond Raines never had his rights trampled, because schools "cannot do that"

and the FACT that Pattison Elementary school cannot reduce
Point of semantics, I should have said it is illegal for a public school to reduce a student's grade for not celebrating another religion. Does it happen, I'm sure it does, but it's a direct violation of a student's 1st Amendment right and if a parent takes an interest in their child's life, the wrong is easily righted.
Really? better tell that to the congress (both houses have chaplains, IIRC),

My point, quite simply, was to point out your error in claiming that the schools "cannot" do things that they clearly do, and in dismissing claims that schools DO in fact do such things as "Bullshit Rhetoric".
We both know better. We both know that (some) schools/teachers do exactly and precisely the things claimed.
I think we agree that it is illegal and unfair. I think we both agree that parents should be more involved (from my experience, a number of teachers would just as

From there we see that Coulter's inflammatory statements (yeah, I repeat myself) are a gross exaggeration of one particular (and truly questionable but not quite outrageous) directive by the State of California on what is to be taught in Social Studies wrt the topic of Islam:

Washington Post, December 6, 1994:
The 10-year-old boy in St. Louis whom House Speaker-to-be Newt Gingrich said was put in detention for saying grace in a public school cafeteria was in fact disciplined for matters entirely unrelated to praying in school, according to the superintendent of St. Louis schools.
Gingrich highlighted the case on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday as evidence that public schools are repressing the
