Although your comparison is different, there sure was a thread on your diversionary topic.....

I'm guessing he was just looking for a reason to put ACLU and Muslim in a sentence. Then again, maybe they didn't want help from the ACLU because they view them as the unholy defenders of Muslims who are certainly all going straight to hell.
The Song of Solomon can get pretty racy.

It's not like the kid was reading it aloud or anything. It wasn't x rated. It shouldn't have been a problem.

For crying out loud, it is a historical book!
Yah, lets ban all historical books?

I didn't. But you did.
And I'll be damned if you tell me WHO I view and HOW I view any one person or organization. Don't dare speak for me.
Where in the hell is the ACLU?
If this kid were a Muslim..mind

Maybe you would like to organize a book burning,
like the British did in 1814 upon the
Libary of Congress, which contained Bibles?

If i was in that class and one of the other students was reading a bible, i would have shown up with a quran to read silently to myself.
Either all religions are allowed, or none are. If you can't handle someone with a quran in school, you can't expect a bible to be acceptable.

You said:

Is it fair to say that the gist of your remark was: If the kid was a Muslim, the ACLU would be involved?
So wouldn't that then mean that you view the ACLU as being more concerned with the rights of non-Christians? Sounds like you pretty much expressed your own view.
I then opined that the family may not have wanted the help of the ACLU because they might take issue with their defense of Muslims who they may feel are going to hell (along with the ACLU).
Don't you dare tell me that I am speaking for you when you speak for yourself

At face value, I agree that the teacher is in the wrong. However, I am certain that Breitbart isn't giving us the whole story. Maybe he was reading out loud, praying or reciting religious rhetoric and/or otherwise disturbing the class.
Maybe "free reading" period isn't really "free" but the children must read from a predetermined list of books. There's always two sides to a story, and so far I've only heard one side.

The Father has retained the Liberty Institute to figure out why this teacher and possibly the entire school system there is against the 1st Amendment.
