Statement from Gov. Rick Perry on the passage of HB 3678, the Religious Viewpoint Anti-Discrimination Act:
“Freedom of religion should not be mistaken for freedom from religion and I want to thank the more than 100 members of the Texas House who voted to give religious expression in our schools the same protection as secular expression. This bill simply clarifies U.S. Supreme Court decisions, protecting schools from needless lawsuits and ensuring students can express their religious views without fear of intimidation. This was a vote for tolerance of diverse views in our education system so that students are not admonished for wishing a soldier overseas a ‘Merry Christmas’, or for any other harmless forms of expression.”

Gplex, open your mind and read the post. Where does it say anyone is forcing anyong to pray to anyone?
Just because you want America to be free from religion does not give you the right to stifle those of us who choose to express or rights to freedom of religion. If you don't want to pray to any god, that's your right, but don't try to stop those of us who do want to pray to God. |
