   Let's see if I understand this... Godly people have perfectly smooth fingers?

   And they allow her to be alone with rooms full of children?

   Good, let the whacko go, if she's that crazy she NEEDS to be dropped.
   Fingerprinting teachers is an important step in keeping sickos out of the classroom.

   Who'd have thought the policy would work so quickly and so well? Although I suppose losing her job would affect her ability to purchase Canadian or Mexican slaves, and that must be some sort of infringement of her rights, surely?

   And don't get this person started about the evils of FingerPAINTING.

   I'm guessing the same lady has no problem having credit cards?

   Her case is similar to a lawsuit by a group of Michigan farmers, some of them Amish, challenging rules requiring the tagging of livestock with RFID chips, saying the devices are also the devil's mark.
   

   
   I don't see the similarity, except both parties are a) stupid and b) religious. Is Ms. McLaurin claiming that Satan put those fingerprints on her fingers?

   Are there degrees of religious stupidity? Is believing in God just as stupid as believing in the bible? Is believing the Bible is the Word of God as stupid as believing what it says? If I believe in God and believe in the Bible and believe its Word, am I all the more stupid for acting on my beliefs? Obama says he believes in God. Is he an idiot or a liar? I return to the idiot line.

   "Are there degrees of religious stupidity?"
   
   Yes. Tell me you believe in God? I don't have a problem with that.
   Tell me you believe every word of the bible? I believe you are an idiot.

    Fingerpainting is the Mark of the Pre-Schooler.

    "A 22 year old veteran teacher"? Did she start teaching at 12? What a maroon.

    Oops, sorry, read that wrong. How has she taught for 22 years without being fingerprinted yet? Ten years ago I had to go through a background check just to chaperone on a field trip. A daytime, school-hours field trip. Not to mention what nonsense she might teach the kiddos. Get her out of there.

    Maybe they should just give you a glass of water.

    give HER a glass of water...

    "...a mark on their right hand and on their foreheads..." is what it says quite clearly in the Bible. Your right hand. And your forehead.
    
    This is still bugging me. Something along the lines of "how can some people be so stupid?" Now I'm wondering, though, because I've never checked prior to a few minutes ago. Do we have toe-prints on our toes or are mine just worn off from lots of walking?
    
    If you want to know how stupid some people are, ask my wife. She's been working hospital switchboard and admissions in the middle of flu hysteria. My favorite was all the self-diagnosed people who think they are suffering from 'respiratory distress' because their nose is runny and they can't breathe through it.

    They usually do a sniffing demo for her. "See?"

    (Dear Teacher, Please excuse the multiple comments. I'm home sick. "See?")

    The teacher does not believe that it is merely coincidence that Revelation says only those with the ‘mark on his forehead or on his hand' will be able to buy or sell, since only those teachers who comply with fingerprinting requirements will keep their jobs, he said.

    
    Does she also believe that taxes are the mark of the beast? Try not paying your taxes and see how fast they stop you from buying and selling.

    Now I have a palm print on my forehead.

    This may be the answer to keeping religious whackos out of the classroom. Excellent!

    I agree with Bisbonian, they should just surreptitiously lift Her prints, just like I'm collecting DNA from the Candy drawer...

    I knew the Romans were into the tossing and dressing of salad but didnt know God was into that, have a little respect Don Coyote. Puts "showers you with blessings" into a new light.

    C'mon, Rob Bob. Save it for church. I come here for banjos, not religion.
