    You’re really lost in the woods on this and desperate for attention.

    Calling you a liar would be a personal attack. Calling your claim a lie is addressing the facts or lack thereof on your part.

    Enjoy!

    This wasn't a teacher handing anyone anything. It was a voluntary event. Yes, I was handed the Bible in just the same way. I can't believe you've never heard of the Gideons. Yes. I'm fine with people reading the bible in voluntary events. No, that isn't a "coercive state action." I'm going to assume you've never visited the south. Ever. See you at the Poll has been a thing here for decades.

    I’ve been handed bibles by Gideons. They basically had to do it afterschool, on the public sidewalk while we were waiting to board buses. They were sort of using the public sidewalk as a means to show it wasn’t school sponsored but school tolerated and they were not handed out by school staff. Was your experience different?

    Your statements were lies. If you need to ignore me to support your delusion that is your problem.

    Yes. They did it rooms and during hours that were not official school business. Just like the drag queens. Learn. Think.

    Clarify. Not official school business so are you saying during the hours that would not normally be school hours aka before or afterschool.

    These drag schools are school and library endorsed. That’s part of the problem.

    Well, it turned out this kind of thing never happened in MO, but its nice to have a mountain of laws in case stuff happens one day. Its the authoritarian dream come true.

    It is an attempt to influence.

    So Bibles should be banned entirely from all public schools? No Bibles in personal possession. No prayer groups. No Bibles even in the library? I disagree.

    Reading fail. Christians can do that things that you say you oppose. You want to carve out an exception for drag queens to take away their rights.

    Not as much as you like hypocritical positions, apparently.

    You’re being obtuse. If you have a drag queen read a story during school hours at a school then how is that not school business?

    This is not a contest of principles

    It's culture war over who gets to control the formation of young minds.

    Where are drag queens reading stories during school hours in any kind of mandatory event? Where? Why are you making that **** up?

    And I'll keep sticking with free speech and you can keep raging against it.

    There have been school assemblies, school pride parades and much more.

    This is compelled speech. It would be no different than a teacher leading the class in prayer and me saying no one forced you to pray.

    You've been to voluntary events before. You've gone to club meetings that the whole school wasn't required to go to. That's what's happening here. You are spouting nonsense. No one is being compelled to go to drag queen story hours.

    Is anyone required to be on the football team when the coach prays before the game?

    Endorsement is endorsement.

    Freedom of religion is a protected right in the Constitution. Drag Queen Story time for children is not.
