Howdy Folks,
   This February we have two in-school activities and one at home activity to choose from.  
   The first [ I. ] is a special February activity.  It is "The Students' Annual  Day of Purity " [  https://www.facebook.com/dayofpurity ] that occurs on Valentines Day, Monday, February 15.  There are good reasons for intelligent people to abstain from the plague of victimizing lust and wait for the blessings of true love.  Recall that HAPPY stands for Highest Attainable Principles of Purity for You(th) on VALENTINES DAY.
point "On February 15, youth around the world will celebrate the annual Day of Purity. The Day of Purity, a project of Liberty Counsel, is a call for youth of all ages to remain sexually pure until marriage and is designed to counter the cultural message that young people should and must have sex early, often, and with many others."

pointHow Parents can easily influence their "teenagers (to be) twelve-and-a-half times more likely to remain virgins."  i.e 12.5 times = 1,250%

    This section has been updated to Feb 2018.
[ II. ]  This is the acknowledgment of our Anniversary of our Religion Policy Petition.  
        February 2007 was the start of the citizen's petition for The Liberty Counsel's MODEL SCHOOL BOARD POLICY REGARDING RELIGION.  If you have been following this eNewsLetter, you are aware of our recent, local success in this endeavor.  February is our annual reminder and a gentle encouragement for you to petition your local school district.  Why? because it is so important and it is so easy. [Links to resources are in III A, B, C  below.]
       Basically all you do is:  1)  Download and print our generic petition template.  2)  Get a couple hundred signatures.  (Email or visit your local churches to see if they would allow the distribution of the petition.  You can remind them that the churches have more in common with each other than with Secular Humanism.)  3)  Present it at a school board meeting and let them pass it.  4)  Or since FL has broken the ice on the Model Religion Policy and if you have conservative friends in your state legislature you might jump to III. B. below and get the policy throughout your whole state.
       This web page encourages proactive school board policies encompassing "The Freedom Of Religious Expression In Public Schools".  Many School Boards do not have a comprehensive policy that would prevent a uninformed school employee from oppressing their K-12 children's freedom of religious expression.  When it was discovered that our local school board (the 22nd largest in the nation) at best had only 4-5 lines of religion policy scattered throughout the massive policy manual, it was time for a comprehensive policy.  The results are seen as an improvement for helping the whole school community know what religious activities and traditions are legal.
        You do not have to have a child in your local school to sign or promote this petition because you have standing as a tax payer.  Typically 50% of your property taxes go to your local school board!  Remember the school kids are soon going to be your neighbors.  You should have some input as to what they are going to be.  What kids believe will determine how they will behave.  You definitely can petition The School Board to adopt an official, comprehensive school board policy regarding religion.
        Link A.  is a sequential list of the events that was necessary to see it through to success.   Some original school board links have expired.
        Link B. This link is The Liberty Counsel's MODEL SCHOOL BOARD POLICY REGARDING RELIGION  i.e. Sample School Board Policy: Religious Expression in Public Schools - Liberty.  It was approved and adopted into the Pinellas'  District Bylaws and Policies Manual (pdf) (Updated November 17, 2017) (in the board's PDF, scroll down to Table of Contents, click on Chapter 2000, click on 2270.); or, you can view our saved copy [ Petition-Freedom-Of-Religious-Expression.htm ; pdf].  We  recommend that the Model Policy be submitted with the petition signatures to your school board for approval and adoption as their official comprehensive school board policy regarding religion.  By submitting this Model, the 'comprehensive' is accomplished and the legality of it can be defended by The Liberty Counsel who are sensitive to the oppression of religious liberties on campus.  The school board attorney can eMail or call The Liberty Counsel, (800) 671-1776, with any concerns and get a little legal advice on the 1st Amendment concerning public schools.   [Hints for application.  Try to get both signatures and email addresses of the petitioners in your school district for contingencies and to allow for easy follow up.  Registered voters are persuasive petitioners.  Try to get enough signatures to approximately equal 1/2% to 1% or more of the school district's student-parent population.   When presenting the petition and Model Policy to the school board take some time to read into the record some of the high lights of the Model Policy.  Follow up on the progress once a quarter or twice a year.  It is worth it.

History of Religious Expression: Hisways USA, Inc. wrote a petition, received signatures and presented it at the Pinellas County School Board see Petition For Freedom Of Religious Expression In Public Schools.
        Link C. is our non copyrighted, updated generic Petition form: https://hisways.org/howto/Petition-Freedom-Of-Religious-Expression.htm, [ file].  This is the same petition but in PDF format: [ pdf ],  'Permission is granted to print, copy and distribute this form'.

A.   Our chronology and success of our local citizen petition is here: [ https://hisways.org/about/2008ModelSB-ReligionPolicy.html ]
B.  Hisways USA, Inc. didn't get involved with the FL legislature when they passed this very similar law for all public school board adoption:  see Religious Expression in Public Schools, (Chapter No. 2017-74) (Archives) or see direct link to pdf:  Ch_2017-074.pdf C.  Here is our generic Petition that we used.  Click link for printable template: [ pdf ] [ html]
D.   You could suggest to your state legislators to adopt a similar law of Religious Expression for your state's public schools.  Give them the links in B. above to show them is has already been done and is a good place to start.

[ IV. ]  Added new Jan 2018 because it is a policy long overdue, has broken the ice in the legislature of W. Virginia and we should get it here.  
A.   Proposed bill would require West Virginia schools to offer Bible class By WSAZ News Staff ; WHSV newsroom | Posted: Mon 5:02 PM, Jan 15, 2018  Senate Bill 252, sponsored by State Senators Mike Azinger and Sue Cline, would apply to private schools, as well as public ones.  Here is our copy of the original WV Senate Bill 252
