"A central Indiana school district argues that prohibiting a planned graduation ceremony prayer because of a federal lawsuit filed by the top-ranked senior would violate students' free speech rights.
The Greenwood school district responded this week to the lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana on behalf of Greenwood High School valedictorian Eric Workman.
Workman's suit calls the student-led prayer the senior class voted to approve unconstitutional."
OK.
So in Indiana, any one atheist kid can stop the rest of the class's decision?
What do you bet this kid is the spawn of liberal(s)?

Polar Dance has been chosen for inclusion in a unique collection that represents the 40 most important nature photographs of all time.
Very cool.
I bought an original Polar Dance for Honeybunch back in the 1980's from Mangelsen's Park City Utah gallery.
I guess I should'a bought a few more!

George F. Will - Bringing Thunder-ous change to New Jersey
George F. Will - Bringing Thunder-ous change to New Jersey
"So he closed the $2.2 billion gap by accepting 375 of 378 suggested spending freezes and cuts. In two weeks. By executive actions. In eight weeks he cut $13 billion -- $232 million a day, $9 million an hour. Now comes the hard part.
Government employees' health benefits are, he says, '41 percent more expensive' than those of the average Fortune 500 company. Without changes in current law, 'spending will have increased 322 percent in 20 years -- over 16 percent a year.' There is, he says, a connection between the state's being No. 1 in total tax burden and being No. 1 in the proportion of college students who, after graduating, leave the state.
Partly to pay for teachers' benefits -- most contribute nothing to pay for their health insurance -- property taxes have increased 70 percent in 10 years, to an average annual cost to homeowners of $7,281. Christie proposes a 2.5 percent cap on annual increases."
The next Reagan?

Tea Party is a ‘bowel movement,’ says ACORN boss Bertha Lewis
Tea Party is a ‘bowel movement,’ says ACORN boss Bertha Lewis The Daily Caller
"ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis praised socialism and said the Tea Party was a “bowel movement” filled with racists in a speech to a left-wing youth group, a new video shows.
.....The comments by Lewis came during a March 25 speech to the winter conference of the Young Democratic Socialists, which is the youth arm of the radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
DSA is closely tied to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, an 80-plus member group of left-wing Democratic lawmakers.
President Obama worked for ACORN’s Project Vote affiliate, trained ACORN organizers and represented ACORN as a lawyer.
Although ACORN leaders typically refuse to be labeled as socialists because they realize the term carries with it a negative connotation in American culture, Lewis openly embraced socialism.
“First of all let me just say any group that says, ‘I’m young, I’m democratic, and I’m a socialist,’ is alright with me,” Lewis said."

Earth Day-The Great Global Warming Swindle
Earth Day is the main theme in our children's schools today.
And the theme has been morphed into a simple concept: American capitalism=bad, Big American control and caring=good.
We are continuing to sow the seeds of our own destruction.
Just about every American school student since has been forced fed "An Inconvenient Truth" in our public schools.
With a "caring" teacher/mentor to provide answers to any student's inconvenient questions.
And today's "Earth Day" continues the eco-madrassah madness.
If we don't get some real science back into the schools NOW, the world will pay an enormous price.
Start going to your local school board meetings now and demand some balance in the propaganda or the bad guys win ......again.
Celebrate Earth Day!
Watch this video today.

Ed Driscoll » Rush Limbaugh: Media Svengali!
"Me: I challenge you to listen to Rush for a half hour.
Him: No. He’s an idiot.
Me: Have you ever listened to him?
Him: No.
Me: Then how do you know he’s an idiot?
Him: He is. He’s a wacko. He doesn’t know anything.
Me: How do you know that?
Him: Are you trying to make me mad?
Me: No. But I do think that you should listen to him. At least then you’d have first hand knowledge of what he says and whether you agree or disagree with it.
Him: I’m not going to waste my time."

Iceland volcano: UK airports reopen as BA claims shutdown 'unnecessary' - Telegraph
"The decision was made after ministers were put under pressure to explain why British flights were being stopped while most of European air space was open, despite the cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland."
The nanny state gone wild?
Or have the greenies taken over all of Britain?

Most transparent White House eve
Most transparent White House ever... - Ben Smith - POLITICO.com
"Police chased reporters away from the White House and closed Lafayette Park today in response to a gay rights protest in which several service members in full uniform handcuffed themselves to the White House gate to protest 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'
People who have covered the White House for years tell me that's an extremely unusual thing to do in an area that regularly features protests.
A reporter can be seen in the YouTube video above calling the move 'outrageous' and 'ridiculous.'"

Is Boxer Inciting Violence Against Tea Party Protesters?
Riehl World View: Is Boxer Inciting Violence Against Tea Party Protesters?
"Is Boxer Inciting Violence Against Tea Party Protesters?
A couple of interesting bits in an LA Times item on Boxer and Obama doing some fundraising.
They note that Democrats criticized Bush for such efforts, but as with playing golf, Obama is actually doing it more often.
And I worry that Boxer is inciting violence by calling on her supporters to go toe to toe with Tea Party folks.
Don't you?
'Speaking of the ‘tea party' people, I think it's great that they are active and excited and ready to go,' she said.
'My question to you is are you ready to go toe-to-toe with them, cup by cup by cup?
I am.'"
