In Your Face Fundamentalism
Reuters: "Three Pennsylvania high school students backed by a conservative legal group have sued their school district, claiming they were prevented from quoting Biblical verses in school and expressing opposition to homosexuality, their lawyers said on Friday.
"The students of Downingtown Area School District near Philadelphia say school officials denied them permission to put up a poster containing Bible verses and a picture of a Christian cross on the grounds that it would have violated rules aimed at preventing discrimination."
Sometimes, RSR thinks the quickest way to put fundamentalists back in their box is to let them do all the overbearing, insufferable, intolerant things they say they want to do. The vast majority of people, we believe, would quickly see what they're all about. We really wonder how these young fundamentalist would react to their exasperated fellow students expressing opposition to their intolerance.
