"Thou Shalt Destroy All Evidence That Might Get Your Pious Ass Sued"

An hour or so ago, OC Weekly’s Matt Coker reported about our trustees and their pious and unconstitutional ways: College Board Sued Over Prayers Weighs Prayer Policy Tonight:
Ever go to a school board meeting and have a tent revival break out?

Trustees who lord over the South Orange County Community College District … and are being sued over their frequent and apparently mandatory use of official prayers are scheduled tonight to consider a new policy concerning those moments of supposed intimate connection with a greater power.
Matt joins us here at DtB in noting the curious nature of tonight’s special 3-part “prayer ‘n’ videos” resolution. Remember the “Jesus Christ and the American G.I.” video?
The new policy, then, would seem to acknowledge that was bad--mmm-kay?--as a video like that would have to be pre-screened, and all religious images and inferences would be strip-mined out.

The bit in the third section about restricting one's personal religious comments seems to stem from district trustee and County of Orange Public Administrator John Williams introducing his prayer at an August board session by essentially telling those present who questioned Bible stories that they were going to hell.

Since the board videotapes its meetings, that footage apparently would have been edited out had the policy being considered tonight already been in place. Which brings us, brothers and sisters, to the 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Destroy All Evidence That Might Get Your Pious Ass Sued.

Without the intimate guidance of the lord, how oh how will the trustees be able to make important decisions? I foresee ruinous times ahead, all brought on by the evil godless Christian haters.

Considering that the Lord has been guiding them all this time perhaps it would be better to see what happens without His Divine Guidance.

Maybe we would have discovered our lack of compliance with the 50% rule sooner...
