Another Anthropocentric Atheist Rages Against Tolerance and Diversity

Margarita Lacabe1 is the latest cookie cutter atheist to make it difficult for the friendly atheist next door to be considered the friendly atheist next door.

She is a member of the atheist sect that thinks that the 99% should be disregarded for the 1% and she is of the Dan Barker and Michael Newdow school of let’s see how many lawsuits we can file school of legislation from the bench. And the Rob Sherman school of making silence illegal.

Margarita Lacabe attended her daughter’s public school, watch for the terminology here, “holiday” show (as in “holy” “day”). She joyfully sat in the auditorium as the children sang secular favorites such as “Frosty the Snowman” (or is it now, “Frosty the Non-Gender Specific Snow Personage”?) and “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” (Santa, the morbidly obese guy who runs a sweat shop).

Yet,

she was shocked by the choir’s next tune. “The children were singing and they were all regular Christmas songs, but then I heard ‘Silent Night,’” said Lacabe. “I couldn’t believe it”_Lacabe was so incensed by the song that she left the auditorium while the children were still singing and spoke with McKinley Principal Cher Mott. “I was so incredibly mad.”

Did I read this correctly: she attends a “holiday” show in a country founded upon Christian values, premised upon the freedom of religious expression, whose declaration was declared by referencing our “Creator_nature’s God,” and is “shocked_incensed_incredibly mad”?
Oh, I know she probably does not know the difference between the Establishment Clause of the Constitution and a letter written by Thomas Jefferson who attended Christian worship church services in the Capitol Building.

But why be so “shocked_incensed_incredibly mad” that she left the auditorium while her child was still singing? “because she and her family are atheists”-shocking, I know.

Some would say that teaching a Christian song is an example of celebrating one of many different cultures present in public schools. But Lacabe said that, because Christianity is so prevalent, teaching it becomes a form of indoctrination. “They are not teaching Muslim songs, or Wiccan, or Pagan, they are not teaching atheist songs, if they are supposed to be teaching different cultures,” said Lacabe. She suggested R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion” as an example of a song with atheistic themes and suggested a web site full of songs that are from an atheist perspective.

I think that an asanta clausist should complain and get “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” taken out. Then an amagical chauvinistic snowmen could get “Frosty the Snowman” taken out. Pretty soon the holiday show will be a “Winter Time Off of Work Seasonage Show.” The audience could consist of the parents and an assigned ACLU lawyer with lawsuit paperwork at the ready. While the music teacher sweats profusely while worrying and the children sing songs that have been deloused on any word that may offend someone. But then some may find this offensive so_

Indeed, why only exclude Christian songs or otherwise actually “religious” songs. Why should we allow songs about magical beings with supernatural powers such as Santa and Frosty in public schools. Why are some worldview/philosophies allowed and others not? Why is it acceptable that atheism is smuggled into the backdoor (actually, the front) of our science classrooms from kindergarten to college (as evidenced here and here).

In keeping with her prolific litigious output:

Lacabe said the McKinley music teacher Kathy Maier said she would remove the song from the rest of the seasonal holiday curriculum, but would not commit to permanently getting rid of it_After asking McKinley staff to not teach her daughter religious music, Lacabe was disappointed that they would not make a blanket change of their policy, so she filed a complaint with the district. At this point she is considering either bringing the issue up to the school board or school the district_ fought to have the words “Under God” removed from the Pledge of Allegiance_she may pursue the possibility of a legal injunction on the “Silent Night” matter, as well her complaint about the Pledge of Allegiance, depending on the results of other similar lawsuits in the state.

What happens when children are taught the Declaration of Independence? Do they read the censored version, the militant activist atheist rewriting of history version?

It is quite obvious that the motto of such atheist is “I shall have no other gods before me!” Thus, of course, this is all about Margarita Lacabe. Yet, in fact it is a conspiracy whereby “holiday” songs were invented to be sung during the “holiday” season so that her daughter would be indoctrinated (envisage evil laughter here):

Lacabe added that she believes that the school was aware of her atheism, because when her daughter was in kindergarten last year she fought to have the words “Under God” removed from the Pledge of Allegiance. She believes that the school knew about her atheism and purposefully ignored it. “I feel they did it intentionally to indoctrinate my daughter in Christianity,” said Lacabe. “They are discriminating against my daughter because she is not a Christian_[her husband said] “I agree with her and, of course, I support her because she is my wife_

Now we really come to the crux of the matter:

The school district office said that they have a no-discrimination policy_

Margarita Lacabe said that. But for now, her daughter continues to say the pledge every Wednesday morning at an assembly with the rest of the school. “She is seven-years-old and wants to be like everyone else,” said Lacabe. “Basically, that is what I’m talking about. When you have this type of indoctrination, you are telling a group of kids that, because they don’t believe in the same things, they are not like everyone else.”

Well, indeed, in a majority Christian country those who do not believe in the same things are not like everyone else.
Diversity is about recognizing our differences and tolerance is about respecting those differences. Yet, the atheist movement represented by Margarita Lacabe appears to think that diversity is pretending that we are all the same and tolerance is putting up only with that with which we agree. This is intolerant uniformity not tolerant diversity.

The 99% must, under threat of multiple expensive lawsuits conform to the 1% “shocked_incensed_incredibly mad” paranoid conspiracy theorist.

Walk on eggshell everyone, here comes the atheist!
