At a Texas High School, Saying ‘Atheist’ Could Disrupt the Learning Process

While we’re on the subject of the challenges high school atheists are up against, theSecular Student Alliance group at La Porte High School in Texas wanted to put up flyers advertising their group. To make that happen, the school administration had to approve the design (a standard procedure at high schools).

They said it wasn’t a bad word. They said atheists don’t believe in god. And yet, the principal thinks that could hurt the education process.

Someone please explain to me how that could be disruptive…

…I just…

Wut?

Fuck…

my guess is that secular is allowed because half of the students don’t know what it means.
