Atheists Can't Believe Children Not Allowed Access To Their Websites.

Sometimes, I just am amazed by how upset some people get when they don't get their way. Indianapolis public schools get a cheer for prohibiting access on school computers to websites that promote non-Abrahamic religions, and atheism.

Of course, Atheists are up in arms about this. Calling it "discriminatory." Apparently, it's only discriminatory when Atheism is being banned, but other Atheist views and teachings (read: strict Darwinism) that are the only viewpoint in a public school are completely fine. I wonder when was the last time these guys checked their Constitution? I don't recall anything in there about separation of Church and State.

Discrimination, if you are unaware, is when one's rights are violated. For example, let's say an atheist wants to get into a library. The library says "No Atheist's allowed." This is discrimination. Now take for example, the same Atheist; They go into a public place (say a library) and say "Hey, I would like to check out Richard Dawkins' 'The God Delusion,'" To which the librarian says "Oh, I'm sorry, we don't carry that book; mostly because it's just that bad." OH NOES! Discrimination! Right? Wrong.

See, in the second example, the Atheist hasn't been denied a right. You have no right to a particular book. If the library doesn't carry it, you're out of luck. (unless of course your library is awesome and will order it for you). In the first example, they were denied access to a public place. That is discrimination. In Indianapolis public schools, they are blocking websites. Atheists are outraged(!) that they can't access them. Sorry, internet access is not a right. If a school so chooses to block certain websites, they have a right to do so. (For you constitutional types, this would only need to pass muster under the lowest Constitutional test, Rational Basis. The school need only show that there is a rational basis to block such websites, and they are golden.)

It's good to see there's someone out there, especially in the public schools, who has a head on their shoulders.
