Score one fer the good guys.......

From The Palladium Times:

ALBANY, N.Y. - A federal judge has ordered the Mexico school district to return bricks inscribed with evangelical Christian messages to a high school walkway, concluding their removal violated the free speech rights of the people who paid for them.U.S. District Judge Norman Mordue ruled the bricks, with engravings like “Jesus Saves” and “Jesus Christ The Only Way!” didn't constitute a Mexico Academy endorsement of that religious view. The bricks containing such engravings were the only ones removed, while others also referred to God and some commemorated Methodist, Episcopal and Catholic churches.“The undisputed evidence demonstrates that Mexico Academy engaged in viewpoint discrimination when it removed plaintiffs' bricks from the walkway,” Mordue wrote. “Further, the bricks at issue, which number 9 among 1,736, literally constitute an insignificant part of the walkway.”Of course the Mexico Central School District only removed the bricks after being threatened by Central New York ACLU representatives. It's instructive that the ACLU, which supposedly champions civil liberties, used bullying to try to deny free speech to people because that speech was religious in nature. I tips m'hat to... Stop the ACLU and The Dread Pundit Bluto...

By the way y'all...Mexico, NY is the only place in the continental United States where Mexico is NORTH of Texas...(Texas, NY).....get a map n check it out....It's also within spittin distance of The Cook Shack......

I have a very close friend who is a retired school teacher from the Mexico, NY school district who has just informed me that he has heard from a teacher who is still teaching at the Mexico Academy...that the School Board IS NOT going to re-install the bricks in question....I will attempt to ascertain the veracity of this information....

Slap that ACLU right upside the head.........Cookie....
