Public Schools Get Wierder
Religion in an American school? Where is the ACLU?

The lesson began with the striking of a Tibetan singing bowl to induce mindful awareness.

With the sound of their new school bell, the fifth graders at Piedmont Avenue Elementary School here closed their eyes and focused on their breathing, as they tried to imagine “loving kindness” on the playground.

Eastern religious ideas are apparently okay....it's those darned Christian ones (where did Christianity originate again?) that are not good....

In other related school madness, a public school doesn't like GI Joe action figures as they come with weapons...one inch plastic weapons....Scary stuff...

Yep...the government is definitely the right organisation to educate our kids...

(Hat Tip: Hot Air)

For bonus points, there are a couple of more stories...

The first is that, surprise, sex education classes are horribly biased towards condoms and against abstinence. Maybe we should start calling that child abuse?

Secondly, a school has a no physical contact rule. Not just fighting or kissing, but hugs, back slapping, hand holding, shaking hands....and you thought those southern baptists were control freaks...
