I can’t find the article on HNN. It could have been a CSH newsletter. I don’t remember.

I don’t know why they don’t just send them all home sealed. Let the parents deal with any potential offense or hotbutton topics. We’re talking 5-10 year olds. Can’t they just fill their heads with Hello Kitty and Harry Potter and not issues of religion or politics?

You may have information I don’t have Mriana, but it sounds to me like you are talking about what happened in the Virginia case (where Camp Quest flyers were included, and this caused an uproar from the very same people who demanded that they be allowed to send religious flyers), not in this case.

I’m glad they are on top of it and actually Bad, they did. The flyers for Camp Quest were past out just as any other camp would be and there was a big to do about it because it was not Christian. There was an article about in the Humanist News Network Newsletter, if I remember correctly, about it a while back. Christians did not like the flyers being passed out to their children just like something for Jesus Camp would be passed out to children. They got upset about it. So it’s been done already.

Meh. The FFRF hasn’t really impressed me insofar as their savvy at taking on issues like this. They really should have tried to send rationalist, humanist, or atheist messages home themselves first, and if they were denied, THEN make a move. Their case is far far weaker without that.
