Loyola University is Catholic if I am correct. Next it will be a teacher can not wear a cross while teaching school. PA laws in most every venue are antiquated. But then again that may be a good thing at times. being politically correct, geez.. When did all this politically correctness begin, humm.

My religion dictates that I wear a bone in my nose and a chicken head necklace. May I wear that in the classroom? Priest's wear religious garb and we all know about them. These days, if you walk into a school, you can't tell the difference between men/women and teacher/student dress. Why all the fuss. We're at the bottom of the brain pool anyway in world wide education statistics.

Not only demand they keep their religious dress out of the schools, but their sexual preference.
My granddaughter told me very matter of factly one
of her teachers announced the first day of shcool
that he's gay. What does this have to do with
impressionable children who should be learning
their class assignments?

Why would anyone want to wear and publicly display a symbol of death?

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Taurus

Although the influences around now tend to give you endurance and stamina, you do have to watch that you're not straining your body too much, or trying to force yourself to do things that you don't want to do. Too much willpower can sometimes make you push yourself past your limits. You may be overspending to compensate, because you feel that you deserve a little reward for all your hard work. However, you'll have to pay the piper sooner or later!
