Speech, Religion, and Church & State
By Matt Margolis | April 23, 2003
Why are people afraid of religion? Religion is a source of faith, morality, and community for many people. Yet, many liberals treat religion like it is a great evil. It’s funny how they think that bashing the President is an exemplary way to excercise freedom of speech, however, religion, or anything related to religion is an obtrusive and harmful. In a story reported on Fox News a teachers aide was suspended without pay for a year for wearing a cross. The article speaks for itself, but I think this shows just how ridiculous liberals are. If a student wears an anti-Bush or anti-American type shirt, that is healthy freedom of expression - however, the simple wearing of a cross is deemed worthy of the suspension of a teacher. Please… GOD forbid a teacher have gaul to wear a symbol of their faith in school.
There is a huge difference between separation of church and state, and the simple wearing of necklace with a religious symbol for a pendant. People don’t realize that separation of church and state is about the government establishing a state religion - it is not about banning the individuals right to practice a faith, or to express it.
