As the ongoing harassment of Christ Church and associated ministries continues, some of the folks involved in said harassment have the cheek to maintain (in public) that their efforts are not an example of selective harassment. “You see,” they patiently explain to the rest of us, “this is about the rule of law. We may not like the law, but if it is the law, then that is what we must do.” They stoutly deny that they are after selective enforcement of the law. And of course, anyone who believes this line must have just fallen off the turnip truck.
Okay, deal. I am now about to quote a section from the Idaho Code, and I hereby announce that I am not going to hold my breath waiting for the Moscow School District to obey this. Neither am I going to wait for our local gadabouts to file a complaint in order to make them “obey the code.”
Idaho Code 33-1604: BIBLE READING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Selections from the Bible, to be chosen from a list prepared from time to time by the state board of education, shall be read daily to each occupied classroom in each school district. Such reading shall be without comment or interpretation. Any question by any pupil shall be referred for answer to the pupil’s parent or guardian.” The emphasis is mine.
