There are some cases where I believe that if you're not part of class X, you shouldn't complain on their behalf.
This isn't one of them.

Why are the school districts even trying to do this? They all know that it is just a mater of time before someone finds out and sues them so it is pointless.

I sure am glad Ector County School District found such an eloquent, erudite gentleman to be their spokesperson.
Mr. Foreman, let me cordially extend an invitation to kiss MY butt as well.

Violations of constitutional law should be the concern of every responsible citizen. Further, I thought status as a citizen/taxpayer automatically gave one standing in an Establishment Clause case.

The whole point of removing a religious program from a public school is about NOT imposing beliefs.

“If they don’t have children in the class, they can kiss my butt,” Foreman said. “They’re just looking to impose their beliefs and their views on everybody, and we don’t put up with that crap out here.”
Why do I picture this guy looking like Carl from ATHF?

What's sad is most Christians don't know things like who gave the sermon on the mount. We almost need Bible classes so that Christian know what their religion is based on, and so that people of other relgions can understand it. If they'd teach it like a piece of literature, no one would have a problem.

I would personally have no problem with the Bible being taught in schools, as a work of literature. Whether you love it or loathe it, I think most people would acknowledge the Bible has been a very influential book on human history. And point out both the good things and the bad things its inspired, from Martin Luther King to the Salem Witch Trials.

“They’re just looking to impose their beliefs and their views on everybody, and we don’t put up with that crap out here.”
Ironic, then, that what you want to do is
impose your beliefs on everybody.You won't even let the parents sit in on the class, to see if it's a neutral literary study or religious indoctrination. That's a bit suspicious, if you ask me.
Furthermore, how is an attempt to uphold the law \"[imposing] their beliefs\"?
Something tells me this guy is going to end up removed from his position for this crap. (At least, I hope so.)

If they don’t have children in the class, they can kiss my butt
If they don’t have children in the class, do they get to withhold their school taxes, too?

The Watcher: Sadly, in some parts of Texas, that really IS the pinnacle of eloquence and erudition among the local populace -- which, along with typical Bible-belt religious arrogance, explains how this class got set up in the first place.
Gads, I hate this place sometimes.

And this is different from what you are doing by forcing Bible classes on public school kids how?
