Title: The Teacher is Always Right, Right?
Topic: Freedom of Religion Defended
Discussed by Eric Buehrer
with Gateways to Better Education www.GoGateways.org
Has your child ever been told they cannot talk about Jesus or God
during an assignment? Have they been told that “religious” gifts
are not allowed to be given to other children around certain holidays? We live
in a society of “separation of church and state” and too many people
misunderstand this concept. Parents also often mistakenly believe everything a
teacher, administrator, or even Principal says regarding religion (or no
religion) being allowed in the classroom.
Eric Buehrer is a former school teacher-turned minister. He is here today to
explain your rights and the rights of your child at public school regarding
their religion. He says, “This information [regarding religious freedom in
schools] is directly from the US Department of Education, not from some
Conservative think tank.” The Supreme Court is also on the side of
religion!
Gateways for Better Education has some great resources for parents,
teachers, administrators, and even students. Click [here]

Department of Education.

Discussed by Justin Butterfield
with Liberty Institute www.LibertyInstitute.org
Sometimes Home Owners Associations think they can rule the roost and
intimidate homeowners into doing what “they” want. This has happened time and
time again. The Texas Legislature has tried to put the reins on HOA’s, with
little to no luck in the past. Not this time!
Justin Butterfield, with the Liberty Institute, is an attorney who specializes
in religious liberty laws. A small group of orthodox Jews decided to meet
privately in a home and had been for several years. The location had changed
several times over the years to accommodate their religious belief of not riding
in a car on the Sabbath. Listen in as Justin explains the rest of the story….
Some of the people who joined the lawsuit against this tiny congregation were
just outrageous in their claims! Needing to stop for a blind person. Waiting for
a woman with a baby stroller to cross the street. Really?
A State District Judge made the ruling that…..Listen in to hear who won! The
story is quite fascinating!
What about city, county, or even state ordinances? Do they have the right to
stop someone from holding religious meetings in their home? For more on this and
other issues regarding religious liberty, click [here].
