The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is in error, but that's hardly anything new. It strongly believes in a distinct seperation of church and state, unless, it would appear, the religion in question happens to be islam.
"A public-interest legal group is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals allowing a California public school to engage in a three-week intensive course for 7th graders on how to "become Muslims."
A California federal trial court and the 9th Circuit, widely considered the nation's most liberal appeals court, determined the class did not violate the Constitution.
This is the same Court that ruled the pledge of alligience unconstitutional because it included the words, "under God". If ever there were a questionable court it would be this one. They have made quite a name for themselves through controversial rulings."
On the other hand, and life is complicated kids, there's always an other hand, to complain that the courts wrongly interpret the Constitution by insisting upon a seperation of terra and heaven, then saying that they shouldn't allow moslem teachings because such instructions violate an imaginary clause that in truth does not exist, is a mind boggler.
The 9th Circuit is a gaggle of Euro-worshippers. The Joannie Ginsberg types who think that foreign laws and mores are the bomb, so of COURSE they simply adore islam. Christianity is passe, and not only that but it's also a MAJORITY religion and we all know how the loons hate majority anything.
All I'd wish was for them to be consistent. If a serious judge fervently feels that the Constitution prohibits the promotion of religion, then make sure, make damn sure, that it this applies to ALL religions. Yes, a public school MUST touch upon religion if it is to teach middle east and European histories, but the case in question goes far beyond mere familiarity and would never be allowed were a Christmas-type of passion play to be presented.
Government should distance itself from favoring one belief over another, and the easiest way to accomplish that would be to turn a complete blind eye to ALL faiths, but since that's not going to happen some sort of middle ground must be achieved, and that's what confuses liberal judges. Being "fair" is an alien concept because fair requires give and take and THE LAW should be etched in stone. Unless of course to favor anything remotely connected to a MINORITY, and we are back on the merry-go-round to insanityville.
