What a whimp!
"The object was to prod me into Bible Belt Christianity, regardless of my own or my family's beliefs."
"I looked around, then raised my hand, too."
"I wanted to be accepted."
If you have beliefs, is showing up an hour late such a terrible price to pay for having them?

No, I was the class' pioneer commander
It takes time to overcome the programming.
The article's author had nothing to overcome. And she had parents ready to support her. And her worst punishment was to be lonely. How many people here were lonely in high school?

So, I as taxpayer, get to subsidize Bible School?
Or don't you think that if I pay for a full day's instruction, I should get a full day's instruction?

Who says that they did not finish an hour late?
And, even if they did not, it's a waste of money, not a subsidy.

I love her dearly, far beyond any creature I've ever known, and I can prove it, for never once in almost seventy years of married life have I taken her by the throat. Mind you, it's been a near thing once or twice.

Yeah, and it does specifically mention religion
saying the state shouldn't spend a dime on it.

Ah, local.
That could be different. Are local govs creatures of the state level, or are they truly an independent level of government?

They're independent. But they are constrained ...
by the Constitution too through the 14th Amendment and the interpretation of the Supreme Court.

And remember that this is Virginia.
All the local levels are answerable to the state government. \r\n\r\n But... \r\n\r\n The Commonwealth of Virginia is the only place in the US which makes common practice of having independent cities, so it'll be interesting to see how jurisdictional issues play out in any legal challenges. For example, some of the kids involved apparently live in Staunton -- which is an independent city -- but any of them who are outside the city limits (say, in a neighboring town) instead have to deal with the government of Augusta County. --\r\nYou cooin' with my bird?
