CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 3, 2023
ONCE IN A WHILE A FEDERAL JUDGE GETS IT RIGHT, OFTEN DEPENDING ON WHICH PRESIDENT APPOINTED THAT JUDGE.
A FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT HAS ORDERED CHICAGO’S BOARD OF EDUCATION AND A FOUNDATION THAT SPONSORED A MEDITATION PROGRAM IN THE CITY’S SCHOOLS TO PAY A FORMER STUDENT $150 THOUSAND IN DAMAGES AND LEGAL FEES AFTER THE CHRISTIAN STUDENT REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN “MANDATED” HINDU RITUALS. MARIYA GREEN SAID SHE WAS CAUTIONED TO “PRAY OR DON’T PLAY” WHEN SHE REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN A “PUJA INITIATION RITE” THAT WAS PART OF THE “QUIET TIME” MEDITATION PROGRAM. IN A NEWS RELEASE, THE FORMER STUDENT’S ATTORNEY CALLED THE PROGRAM “A THINLY VEILED HINDUISTIC RELIGIOUS PROGRAM ENCOMPASSING THE PRACTICE OF TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION.”
I DON’T HAVE TO MENTION WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF A TEACHER TRIED READING THE BIBLE OR PRAYING, DO I? THAT WAS OUTLAWED BY THE SUPREME COURT DECADES AGO.
NEVER MIND THAT A LOT OF CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE BEHIND IN BASICS LIKE READING, MATH AND SCIENCE. OR THAT A POPULAR SCHOOL CHOICE PROGRAM IS IN DANGER OF EXPIRING BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ARE IN THE POCKET OF THE TEACHER’S UNIONS WHO DON’T WANT IT.
IF YOUR KIDS ARE IN PUBLIC SCHOOL INDOCTRINATION CENTERS, GET THEM OUT NOW. I’M CAL THOMAS.
