Teacher tells 6-year-old 'Jesus is not allowed in school'
A California elementary school is facing a possible lawsuit after a teacher allegedly confiscated a six-year-old child’s Christmas candy canes and told him “Jesus is not allowed in school.” Last December, Isaiah Martinez brought his first grade classmates at Merced Elementary School candy canes. Attached to each treat was a message explaining the religious legend surround the candies. It takes a special kind of evil to confiscate a six-year-old child’s Christmas gifts.

Why I’m Leaving the Church Growth Movement
Church growth is all the rage. For pastors, the focus is on leadership. For laymen, on “reaching people.” In the church world, church-growth is the standard of success. Personally, I think the Emperor has no clothes.
