School Nuts: 'God' Xed From Yearbook
By J. Grant Swank Jr. (05/18/07)
In some American places, education nutcats hold sway. All the more that Christians contact their legal agencies for support. They can never give up. Believers must be forever on the watch for the secularists who are out to bury God from our Judeo-Christian heritage.
Anthony Sciubba, 18, included "God" in his thanks in his yearbook write-up. When he checked the page, "God" was missing.
School authorities informed the student of "church and state." So once again, so-called educators don’t get it. There is no reasonable, legal separation of church and state in the United States. It’s a cliché pushed by irreligious liberals. Instead the First Amendment upholds religious expression from shore to shore, no exceptions.
According to CitizenLink of Focus on the Family, this honor student and athlete at Higley High School in Gilbert, Arizona, was axed. He was "one of 13 seniors to receive a special full-page tribute in the yearbook.
"But when he received his copy Tuesday, he noticed something had been edited from his biography: God.
"Sciubba had credited God for his success, but his bio read, ‘He owed all of his success to others.’"
Who in God’s name gives the right to a school employee to change the student’s wording in his own bio? Only hell’s hubris would permit that. Add outright ignorance to top hubris.
It is appalling that those in American education are so uninformed that they still represent a cultural lag that the intelligent concluded was disappearing quickly and widely. Evidently, the intelligent are not all that realistic in their appraisal. There is still a lot of dumb and dumber out there in our schools.
"Jennifer Wojtulewicz, the yearbook’s faculty adviser, told Sciubba that ‘God’ could not be printed because of concerns over separation of church and state, according to The Arizona Republic. She said Sciubba had been told in advance that references to God would not appear in his bio.
"Sciubba met with the school’s vice principal Wednesday and was told the school would consult with lawyers on the matter."
Jennifer has no idea obviously concerning the reality of the wrath of God. When it hits, she will then realize that perhaps permitting God His due in a student’s write-up would have been a wiser choice than deleting the Almighty.
