We slept while they infiltrated then took control of higher education in the 50's and 60's. We slept while they infiltrated then took control of the MSM in the 60's and 70's. We slept while their progeny infiltrated then took control of local school boards. And now...

School plays it safe with yearbook cover photo

The freedom of religion at Liberty Elementary School has gone too far for some parents at the Colleyville school.
The cover of the Keller ISD school's annual depicts the 2005 Liberty Nickel – complete with the face of Thomas Jefferson – but the words "In God We Trust" are missing.
Instead, the $16 yearbook contains a sticker with the credo and directions on how to apply it to the cover if the owner chooses.
Debbi Ackerman was one of the parents who questioned the missing phrase when her daughter brought the annual home from school.
"She said the teachers told them there was some people who didn't believe in God, and that when they got home – don't do it at school – but affix it when they got home," Mrs. Ackerman said.
"We are just shocked and saddened that it's come to this and it hit right in our back yard."
The Keller school district's policy is to remain neutral on religion.
A spokesman for the PTA, which produced the book, says it simply adhered to that rule.
"I have heard both sides of the argument, so we decided to not step on anybody's toes and take it off," PTA spokesman Tom Gardner said.
A spokesman for the district agreed.
"In this case, I think it was the principal making every effort to make sure that all faiths were respected," Jason Meyer said.

Me#1: I agree. But if one looks hard enough, sometimes one will find a silver lining in the cloud:

It seems that - by my logic - the only "faith" who benefited from the removal of "In God We Trust" were the atheists (just about any other religion I can think of does believe in a God of some kind). So does that now mean that atheism is now a "faith," a religion? If so, that would then provide a whole different light on the separation of State and Religion arguments that go on. |

Isn't it amazing just how intolerant the "tolerant" left really is?
Tolerance has fast become a catch phrase for approval of depravity while denying all things decent that held this country to greatness over decades. |

All I got to say is, "Hurry up Lord". This is fast turning into a place I don't really want to be.

This really is one of those render unto Caesar kinda things which puts me in mind of an alternate motto for this particular coin:
