A rag tag group of right-wing religious fundamentalists stormed a New Jersey school with guns because a girl was expelled for praying before class. At least that's the script of a police drill that is driving Christians crazy in this sacred time of recognizing the Easter Bunny as the holiest of holies.
In a drill designed to improve responses to school hostages crises, police decided to write a script that involves the "New Crusaders" storming the school to seek revenge for the made-up prayer expulsion. Though the word "Christian" wasn't used in the script, some Christians are nonethless put out, arguing the drill amounts of religious intolerance.
My favorite part of the story was this quote from one outraged person:
"This is an unreal scenario, like I said. No child can be expelled for praying in a school since it's legal; therefore, the parents wouldn't have gotten mad, they wouldn't have used guns. If a school district had expelled a girl for praying in class, the parents would have shown up with attorneys, not with pistols."
Forget turning the other cheek. Real Christian parents sue.
