Australian Christian Rock Band to Perform in North Platte, Ne, High School March 30, 2012

I live in North Platte, NE. I sent an e-mail to the North Platte High School protesting its use to promote a blood thirsty religion such as Christianity. Its hateful doctrines are not part of our family values and I pay taxes, not tithes, to my county as a homeowner. I doubt my e-mail does any good but I got my point across.

Good for you, have you considered contracting the ACLU?

I have not contacted ACLU. In the past I have learned the ACLU takes on cases that would benefit the ACLU, not so much the consumer and tax payer. They do not work for free and I do not have the kind of money it would take for such a suit.

Actually, what you've learned may not be very accurate. Have you heard of Jessica Ahlquist?

The ACLU does not charge people a cent to sue government institutions for breaches of the establishment clause, in fact, …it's their bread and butter.

grrrr. He is actually a New Zealander and we generally accept NZ'ers as our own. But not Ray, I don't think the kiwi's want him either.

I checked out the band on YouTube and they're not even worth naming. The lyrics are stereotypically christian, devoid of interesting melody on retro rythms.

Singing about religion is un-Australian and it is likely that they are aiming for the US market where they could sell.
