Education / Woods Cheatham County Cops to ACLU Accusations

School officials in Cheatham County have adopted a clever strategy to defend against the ACLU lawsuit accusing them of trying to force their students to love Jesus. They cop to just about all the ACLU's allegations, but say they don't do any of that anymore. That renders this case moot, as the lawyers say.
Does this mean they're prepared to settle? That's the guess of education blogger Nashville Jefferson, whose work Pith reads religiously (ha!). In the county's answer to the ACLU lawsuit, officials admit that bibles were distributed to kids, a cross once was displayed in a classroom, there indeed have been prayers at graduation ceremonies, and also something called "an inspiration moment" occurred at one high school. It's probably best that we don't know what happened there.

I attended the school that was targeted for its graduation prayer. Big deal, no one was forced to pray. The school does not at all condone any religions. If a bible was ever handed out, I didn't receive one. Being a liberal, i believe that acceptance goes both ways (as long as I'm not being forced to be religious). Damn, somepeople just need to grow up.
