Reply #8: Help me out here, it is not as it would seem [View All]

O'Reilly said he made a mistake about clothing colors being banned, but the school district was controlling the color of plates, cupcakes, etc.

The lawsuit filed complains that these first graders are being denied their right to free expression because the school will not allow them to hand out items with religious messages, or bring religious symbols into school events.

(I would like to meet the first grader with the intelligence to understand what his complaint is all about).

So O'Reilly is only admitting to a clerical error, but the basis of his complaint is intact. That complaint is in essence that schools should be free fire zones for Christians to spread their dogma and seek recruits, and the school should not put obstacles in the way of these Christians, such as tools that would allow the school to keep all forms of religious proselytizing out of the school.

I presume he would not object to the school not allowing the use of Star of David, black clothing, pink silk, beads, tambourines, incense, chicken feet, or any other non-Christian religious symbol at school functions, since it is only Christians that the school is presumably discriminating against, and the Constitutional right to free speech is not extended to these other "swarthy" religions.
