When I see stuff like this, I just shake my head, especially when a governmental body doesn’t understand the US Constitution, ESPECIALLY a school board. Apparently in Miller, SD, they don’t teach any civics courses;

Zacher said he was disappointed the board was forced to change its policy and disallow the Bible distribution.

First off, NO one forced the board to do anything. Following the US Constitution should be a duty of any governmental body, it shouldn’t be something you should even have to think about or second guess, it should come naturally. I bet if someone tried to take away your guns in good ol’ Miller, the Constitution would rear it’s ugly head and be on your side. But like most Hicks, you like to pick and choose what parts of the Constitution you think should apply.

“Our founding fathers felt God very strong in this country,” he said.

Zacher, you are absolutely correct. In fact they thought so highly of God and religion, they wanted to keep government OUT of their personal beliefs on God. The US Constitution’s view on this is to protect people from government’s intrusion into your religious beliefs. When are you going to figure this out?! Does somebody have to hit you upside the head with a bible or better yet a copy of the Constitution. Geez!

2 Thoughts on “Welcome to South Dakota, where the Constitution doesn’t apply

  1. So did I miss the part where the students were forced to take the free bible? Are they allowed to check out books from the library which contain foul content?

    But I know our little ones are sent home packets each year describing which “class picture” bundles we should purchase.

    Thanks again ACLU.

    I agree 100%! Thanks for the post. Along these same lines I want to give my 2 cents about the practice of this city (State too, I would imagine) making election polling places in local churches. Talk about a subtle coercion to ensure only the “Right” kind of people vote. I tried to vote at the main library this year since it was just as close to me as my assigned church and was told “no way, Jose”. I have not been forced into a church to vote since I left Tennessee. Even Texas didn’t go that far. Aren’t there enough libraries and schools to handle the voting here?
