Christian Bad, Buddhist Good
It is only against the Constitution if it is Christian

It appears that praying, chanting and promoting a religion is just hunky dory in state schools, sponsored by state employees, as long as it is not Christian:
Medical students in , recently filled their classroom with the smell of incense and the sound of ancient chants. They lit candles and spoke about the body being the “temple of the soul.” And they did it all “on a state university campus, in facilities funded with . . . tax dollars.”
Did I mention that all this chanting and candle-lighting was in accordance with Buddhist ritual?
Nothing against Buddhist per se, I respect theirs and religions as I do all. But:
The rites followed the final exam in Gross Anatomy on the campus. Students, led by a professor, used them to pay their respects to the four cadavers they had used in class. What the Palm Beach Post called a “solemn closing ritual” ended with the exhortation to “goout and make a new world.”
Seems to me that if I had practiced my religion and given these corpses the last rights, I would be in jail facing multiple charges and Michael Newdow would be fileting my carcass in front of a judge.
Where is the serperation of Church and state that so many liberals are always crying about? Where is the mainstream media railing about the school trying to convert yutes to a religion?
Where are these voices of fairness and equality?
Silent as the corpses themselves.
Oops, Liberals, your hypocrisy slips are showing.
