After the State Senate passed the bill 50-1 and the House passed it 109-6, the Governor of Mississippi signed it into law!
The bill states that, “Students may express their beliefs about religion in homework, artwork, and other written and oral assignments free from discrimination based on the religious content of their submissions.” It goes on to say that students may not be penalized or rewarded on account of the religious content of their work.
Allowance is also made for students to have freedom to organize religious groups, gatherings and activities before, during and after the school day as well as a “limited public forum” for student speakers at non-graduation and graduation events with an opportunity to offer religious expression and lead prayer.
The bill also permits students in public schools to wear clothing, accessories and jewelry that display religious messages or religious symbols in the same manner and to the same extent that other types of clothing, accessories and jewelry that display messages or symbols are permitted.
The ACLU is not happy.

Wow. I had no idea!
Not many people in Hollywood have had a career as celebrated and prolific as Jack Nicholson. A writer, director, producer, and actor, he has received the most Oscar nominations of any male actor, ever. Considering that he’s a notorious womanizer, it may be surprising to hear that he’s an adamant pro-lifer, but he is.
As a pregnant teenager, Nicholson’s mother was pressured to have an abortion, but she refused. This has shaped Nicholson’s view on abortion, making him one of the few pro-life celebrities. On the subject, he has said, “I don’t have the right to any other view. My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.”

Never would have guessed it. Seems like upwards of 98% of Hollywood celebs are doctrinaire, uncompromising leftists, unable to think for themselves, who just parrot the party line on every issue. It’s always refreshing to hear from the rare exceptions.

I agree. Is this what Joe would call a “garden variety slap in the face”?
