The Right to Pray, and the oppressed 80% majority - Lemon Drop - 08-04-2012
Missourians will vote next week on a state constitutional amendment nicknamed "Right To Pray. " It's expected to pass.
Supporters think the 1st Amendment just doesn't cut it for them, they need more.
Basically it brings back organized school prayer, but takes it much further. Students could also not be required to do any assignment that infringes on or disagrees with their personal religious beliefs.
I guess Biology class is pretty much over in Missouri.
The proposal:

They've outlawed gay marriage and gay rights in this state so they need something new to get out the base. James Dobson and Ralph Reed have just the thing! Right to Pray! Who could be against that?
Dobson subsidiary "Missouri Family" is behind the amendment. Here's some costs savings for the state right here on their website. Teach math, sex ed, biology, and Sunday School in one simple cartoon:
(although I'm not sure how this position would work out)

Christian Sharia law. And people don't see what that portends.

We'll see what happens the first time an elementary teacher who is into Wicca has the children gather in a circle and casts spells on each of them. Followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, of course.
