Fox News' culture war crap stirrer Todd Starnes has a new piece of journalistic (!?) crap. His Fox Nation article is titled "American Humanist Association Demands Students Stop Feeding Starving Children." Obviously, this emotionally wrought verbiage is intended to convey an image of heartless humanists who don't care about "starving children." But the headline, on Raw Story, provides a more realistic assessment of the situation, "Minnesota School District Warned to Halt School’s ‘Field Trips’ to Christian Church." As is seen in comparing the actual situation with Toddles article and his latest tweets, reality isn't one of his strong suits.
Poor Toddles is upset that a humanist group warned a public school that sending children to a local Lutheran church, to create "manna" packages (complete with a lesson on the biblical manna) to be sent to Haiti, is a violation of the Establishment Clause. The packages are part of the work done by a Christian charity. The humanists state that their warning isn't meant to denigrate the school's attempt to feed the hungry. They state that “Very importantly, we fully understand that at least one purpose of this field trip was to have the children participate in charity work intended to assist poverty stricken people. Such good intentions, however, can be pursued in innumerable other ways that do not involve immersing the unsuspecting children into a theologically-charged environment."
But poor Toddles thinks that "this is a new low even for humanists. It takes a special kind of godless thuggery to take food out of the mouths of starving children."
Wonder what Toddles would think if a public school sent kids to a mosque to prepare food for starving Muslim kids!
