Foster Kids Overhearing Christian Music Earns Counselor Six-Week Suspension
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
City: Orange County, CA
February 18, 2009
A lawsuit has been filed against Orange County by a veteran group home counselor who was suspended six weeks for exposing four teenagers to Christian music. The counselor is represented by affiliate and staff attorneys of Pacific Justice Institute.
The lawsuit states that, in the summer of 2006, the counselor took four teenage girls from the Orangewood Children's Home on an approved field trip to a 5K run and then to the beach. At the beach, the group encountered a "Surf Jam" taking place at the Huntington Beach pier. The group also overheard Christian music for about ten minutes while they were eating.
Following the beach outing, the counselor, an eighteen-year employee, was summoned to a disciplinary meeting focusing on the Christian music. Several months later, the same incident was brought up again and the counselor was slapped with a six-week suspension for "exposing children to unapproved religious activities."
Insanity reigns. :banghead:

Hopefully, there will be a major Earthquake that dislodges California from the mainland.
I'm Half joking.
The insanity is growing at an alarming rate in that state.

I still contend Lex Luthor had the right idea. Beachfront property in Arizona.

He should have taken them to a "gay pride" parade where they could watch naked men having perverted sex with each other. The guy probably would have gotten a merit badge.

Look on the bright side, California is mired in a budget and economic problem of their own doing.

Hate to say it, but this was SOP in all the group homes I lived in. I remember several staff members being fired for discussing religion.

if the teacher had shown them gay porn or let them dress like muslims and take muslim names and read the koran the person would get an award

Somedays I'm honestly embarrassed to be a godless sinner.

But she wasn't discussing it...she took them to a beach, where there happened to be a group playing christian music.

Has anyone yet found that part in the US Constitution that guarantees the right to not be offended?

It's in the liberal/progressive translation....the one used at DU.

Heck, in this day and age, he would've gotten the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation thinks there is, but there isn't.
