Paranormal Activity in IPS
I don’t know what rocket scientist came up with this rule in Indianapolis Public Schools, but I can’t think of a better way to get sued and cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars.
According to scienceblogs.com, IPS is blocking atheist websites from its computers; actually its blocking all “alternative spirituality” websites.
Sites that promote and provide information on religions such as Wicca, Witchcraft or Satanism. Occult practices, atheistic views, voodoo rituals or any form of mysticism are represented here. Includes sites that endorse or offer methods, means of instruction, or other resources to affect or influence real events through the use of spells, incantations, curses and magic powers. This category includes sites which discuss or deal with paranormal or unexplained events.
You can read the full rule here . If I were a Wiccan or an atheist I’d be heading off to my attorney to either file a lawsuit or get some clarification because if IPS isn’t going to block sites related to Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Shintoism or Greek or Roman mythology , then I deserve equal access and I’m going to sue until I get it. And If I were an IPS official, I’d start praying now and hopefully to as many members of the pantheon as humanly possible.

A lot of church-state legal issues are close ones. This one wouldn't be if it were challenged. Government certainly can't pick and choose which religions to allow access to via the internet.

Catholic mass is like a witches coven with all that incense and latin. Then there is their celebrated ceremonial cannibalism of eating the body and drinking the blood of Christ. That's totally pagan!

Even Stevie Wonder can see this is a violation of the 1st Amen. Watch for the inevitable lawsuit.

This is just another example of the myopic leadership of Eugene White and his bobblehead school board. It will go to court, IPS will lose and the taxpayers will have spents thousands of dollars in legal fees. Eugene White is too busy taking football away from our students in the name of saving money.

“ugene White is too busy taking football away from our students in the name of saving money.”
Sounds good too me. Sports has no business in schools. The schools can't learn to live with an average field to play on and portable aluminum bleachers for stands. No, they want top dollar for stadiums and fields. Again, we reach turd world status in about 15 or so years. There just isn't enough money to go around, so we borrow, which will finally destroy the US imperial dollar for good.
