Churches and Schools....

[Dordrecht]

A remarkable story is unfolding in New York City.

Churches that have been meeting in schools there will have to find new places of worship by Feb. 12, when a new law banning the churches from public school facilities goes into effect. The new ban will affect about 150 churches.

So when Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave his State of the City Address on Thursday, more than 200 pastors and lay people gathered outside the Bronx school where he gave the speech to pray. Police arrested 43 of the praying protesters.

The following day, the New York Housing Authorities reversed its position to evict churches that meet inside community centers. Board of Education officials stuck with their ban, though, saying it will protect the minds of “impressionable youth.”

Considering that had nothing to do with religion and this does, it is comparing apples and oranges.
