An Oklahoma student tried to start a secular club

An Oklahoma student tried to start a secular club

<snip>

One could guess that things did not go well.

The student reported:

A year ago I had the idea to start a student club for secular individuals to meet up. In most states this is something that is going to knowingly pick up a lot of flack and be a lot of work. Well I chose to try to start it in a high school in Oklahoma – the belt buckle of the Bible belt.

<snip>

This student wrote that at the high school s/he attended had plenty of groups for athletes and Christians. Nothing for the secular minded. Being a good secular student s/he did some online searches and found the Secular Student Alliance.

<snip>

The student held a first meeting and approximately fifteen students attended.

The next day this student was called to the principal’s office.

1. Remember - atheists have it easy and no one discriminates against them.
Or so I've been told in R/T.

3. Hard to evaluate, because all of the detail that would allow reasonable evaluation . . .
Has been stripped out of the story.

And that site! What a horrorshow!

While I don't find the story hard to believe, I wouldn't trust anything that's put up by such obvious incompetents. I'll wait for the movie.

9. I had to root around a lot, clicking on links with abandon . . .
Until I got to the story (blue text on a blue gradated background), and then cut and paste the text into a plain-text editor for viewing.

Turned out not to be worth it because, as I said, all of the detail had been stripped out and things were posed as "this is what would have happened if . . ."

Too much stuff out there that's reasonably documented to worry about thumb-fingered nonsense like this.
