Gamble said that when she saw the picture during the tour, she knew that some board members wouldn't approve of it.

Gamble said that when Morris saw the picture, she asked the principal, who was on the tour, to take it down.

Board chairman Steve Abrams... didn't see the picture but said he thinks (it) is silly.
"Personally, I think it's juvenile," he said.

2. The real horror

The children were learning about *gasp* - "Rock Formations".

[bowens43]

3. A picture of god? Black and white or color?

If they are talking about a representation of jesus or any other 'god' , yes, it should be taken down.

5. maybe it's an Art Class

and it's a picture of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel? would that require being taken down?

ok, it's probably not that, but what about that case?

[northzax]

4. what's next?

they can't use Guaranteed Overnight Delivery?

6. How is the existence of the FSM any less possible than another god?

[Zhade]

12. Because it's made-up by humans, silly.

Wait a minute...

[Ecumenist]

7. I wasn't aware that there are any documented

facial profiles of the Almighty, my NDE excepted...

[MGKrebs]

15. More of a drawing than a photograph, actually.

And I would imagine those Noodly Appendages have a tendancy to fling marinara, so bringing a camera nearby would be hazardous.

So yes, it's hard to say how accurate the drawing might be, but one could say that it is intended to portray The One.

Ramen!

[Ecumenist]

16. LOL!!

You guys crack me up..:rofl:

I just think that it's cheeky for someone to think that they could draw a portrait of God. Half the time, we aren't even good at portraying our fellow human beings who happen to come from another ethnic group.

[RethugAssKicker]

8. There is no picture of GOD !

Therefore, naturally it should be taken down!

[ret5hd]

9. did you expect us to applaud this action...

then spring the fact that it is really a picture of FSM on us later, all to laugh at our hypocrisy?

[MGKrebs]

10. No.

On edit (and further reflection), I will elaborate.

I think I just expected to try to create a jovial atmosphere. The subject line would intrigue, but then when someone read the story they would see the FSM stuff and, hopefully, chuckle.

So I guess I expected interested parties to read the story.

13. Apparently, NOBODY bothered to read the story.....

I was interestedenough to take the time. Glad to know teachers in Kansas have managed to keep their sense of humor with all the bullshit coming from the school board.

11. Kansas School Board members accept only one God.

She wanted the picture replaced with a mirror, so she could see her one true deity. :D

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Leave the FSM alone! Ramen
