"It's only a divorce..."

WorldNetDaily ran a story recently about two students in California who are facing expulsion just because one of them prayed with a sick teacher.


They are being supported by Pacific Justice Institute. Brad Dacus, who is working on the case, said:

"Since when does praying for a sick teacher to get well – with her consent – earn a suspension? This is not just a constitutional violation; it is a complete lack of common sense. These students were not looking for a fight, but since the school to this day insists that it can expel them if they pray again, we will have to resolve it in federal court."

I couldn't agree more.

It's amazing how the smallest and most innocent of things can be blown up out of all proportion, made to look somehow "evil" by those who are prejudiced, and then used to persecute.

It's amazing how something as simple as praying with a sick teacher can reflect major injustice and "constitutional violation."

But, in Venessa Mills' case, people have found it all too easy to dismiss the issues as "only a divorce." What will it take for organizations and individuals to realize that, not only is that a huge cop-out, but it's just not true?
