Long story short, what you have here are a bunch of school board members doing anything they can to keep religious prayers in their meetings.
It won’t work. They can’t exclude beliefs they don’t like. And they have every intention of excluding beliefs they don’t like.
Florida School Board Member Tells Pagan He Can’t Deliver an Invocation Because It Might Offend the Audience
Are you in Pensacola? If so, you should ask to do an invocation for the County or City. I am confident the school board will end theirs soon, so you'll not get the chance. All the contact info is on my blog - anapplebiter.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteDavid, I am in central PA and as much as I hate to admit it, I am not involved in the local political scene other than voting. Regretfully I live a Teapublican stronghold small town (everyone thinks they know your business). I think in the 15 years I have lived here I have been to 1 borough council meeting. I don't have the fortitude to deal will the BS here unless forced to do so (I have had verbal incidents that didn't turn out so well), I would be an army of one.
ReplyDeleteI was drawn to your "case" as I have many friends who are Pagan and although I identify as an atheist there are parts of paganism that I am drawn to. My biggest peeve though is the misrepresentation of Pagan beliefs as being "satanic" in some way. I do what little I can to counter that crap.
I will be taking some time to read through what you have posted concerning your efforts. Would love for you to keep me updated as to the goings on and if there is anything you want or need shared to further your cause please don't hesitate to contact me
