My daughter's Catholics for Kerry sticker was ripped down off her

locker at her Catholic school. The sad and ironic part of this is that the girl in the next locker had a Bush sticker. They put a sign on the wall above their lockers that said,"Look! We're still friends." as a sign of solidarity even among differing ideologies. I was impressed, until the sticker was ripped down. :(

On the bright side. Car=6 weeks-no key scratch
Yard sign- 2 months, still the same untouched sign.

4. And, sadly, this is a high school. They are old enough to know better.

The school has encouraged active debate and all has gone well.

2. "Fundmentalist Protestants"

have no monopoly on intolerance in the USA. (It just often looks that way.)

Having been raised Catholic and attanded a parochial school for grades 1-4 I learned early that the "with us or against us" mentality is all too common.

5. It's just very sad...

She's going back tomorrow with another sticker and a "Who Would Jesus Bomb" sticker to put underneath. :hi:
