re: #169 Eclectic Cyborg

▪ Senate Bill 7, in the Senate Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection Committee, would allow Kentuckians as young as 18 to carry concealed guns without the training, background checks and permit that currently are required. Some law-enforcement officials, including Lexington’s police chief, say they oppose the bill.

What could possibly go wrong?

Also:

Senate Bill 17, in the Senate Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection Committee, would allow students at Kentucky public schools and state universities to engage in religious or political activities, distribute religious or political material or express religious or political opinions, “free from discrimination or penalty.” Also, teachers in public schools would be allowed to use the Bible to teach about religion, its history and its role in the United States.

I would love to see what Jews and Muslims do with this one. Also, notice how only the Bible mentioned?

Senate Bill 17 is unconstitutional on its face. Students may engage in religious and political activites already. Teachers may use the Bible only to teach as literature.

The effect of this bill would be (for teachers) to erase other religions from state education.

I have no doubt were this bill to pass, the fiscal conservatives would be all over defending it with as many tax dollars as necessary, and blaming atheists for trying to destroy religion.
