I’m sure they will love to bow down to Allah and face Mecca when they do this…


…not.

I wonder how they plan to plan to accommodate the Flying Spaghetti Monster congregants in Alabama. Will they allow to them to wiggle their invisible noodly appendages as they chant the mandatory chakra towards their maker?

We would be better served down here if our legislature started each day with a short statistics lesson.

So education is the reason they want this recited in school every single day? Disingenuous, thy name is Hurst.

I am so sick and tired of all of these religious nuts who routinely break the 8th commandment (or 9th, depending on sect) because imposing faith-based morality is that important to them. They lie about their motives to others, and lie to themselves and their own about their “true” motives. Its Lie-ception.

All they’re going to succeed in doing is drawing more attention to the religious prejudice in state and federal legislatures.

“If Congress can open with a prayer, and the state of Alabama Legislature can, I don’t see why schools can’t,” said Rep. Steve Hurst, R-Munford, the bill’s sponsor.

Those first two can do it because nobody on the inside has been seriously challenging them in court over it. Off-hand, I don’t know if any legislative official can go to court over this. If this ever changes, I hope everyone remembers who to thank for bringing this to the forefront.

Hurst also co-authored one of the most racist anti-immigration bills in recent history - Alabama HB 56. - which was even more wide-reaching than Arizona’s infamous SB 1070 - a law that is being used to detain LEGAL immigrants.

So, compulsory religious indoctrination sounds very much up Hurst’s alley, as he has repeatedly shown a blatant disregard for Constitutional protections of minorities.
