A religious freedom and civil liberties legal group has come to the defense of two public high school students in central Virginia after they were reportedly reprimanded by school administrators to cease wearing pro-abstinence t-shirts.
wow, they really do want Christian's out of this world, if pretribulation theory is correct i wonder what people will do when were gone and basic moral standard is completely out of the picture. equal rights is one thing, but complete lawlessness, thats where society seems to be going anymore....

So now I guess issues like preventing teen pregnancy and STD's are considered offensive by school administrators.
Why is it that the higher people rise through the ranks of the public education system in America the dumber they get?

Can't understand why the students where told not to where the shirts. As far as I can see it's not even a religious issue, it is just as easy to abide by no religion what so ever and stlli be pro abstinence( and vice versa), very odd, definately a free speech issue.

FACT: The 10 commandments are the basis of our laws. Without that you have only society's say so that something is wrong. If we throw that away we are leaving ourselves wide open for anything. If you take a moment and look around at what is coming out of the courts and our political leaders, this is exactly where we are heading...anything goes if you can justify it to the right people at the right time.
The Word of God is supposed to be offensive to a degree. That doesn't mean to jump on someone's back and ride them into the ground but how often do you get your toes stepped on in church. If you don't either you don't go to church, your pastor(s) don't preach the Word of God, or you're Christ himself.
The Word is supposed to rub us the wrong way if we're going the wrong way. When we give in to God's will then it no longer hurts.
That's the way I see it.

I understand what you're saying, but that just goes to show the problems we run into when we make immoral laws. I think it remains a moral issue regardless of its legality.

I'm just saying that if male students in Massachussetts (where gay marriage is legal) want to wear the shirt that reads “I’m loving my Husband And I haven’t even Met Him!” there's nothing the schools can do to prohibit it BECAUSE this precident has been set.
It's a legal issue now that the precident has been set. Not a moral one.

“Okay, but next thing you know, a MALE student will be wearing a shirt that says ‘I’m loving my Husband And I haven’t even Met Him!’ and the schools won't be able to say a thing.”
Your implication seems to be that we must endorse no moral viewpoints or all moral viewpoints. This view assumes that there is no such thing as objective morality—moral laws that are true for all people at all times in all places. This is the crucial question for our society, isn’t it? We live as if moral relativism is true, when it is clearly false. I commend these students for being bold enough to stand up for true Biblical morality.

This is ridiculous when common sense takes a backseat to not "offending anyone", I applaud these young ladies courage in sticking to their convictions. IN JESUS NAME
