CA School Tries To Ban Christian Song

A California school district has changed course after at first trying to ban a Christian song from a talent contest. A fifth grader wanted to dance to the song "We Shine" but was told by the school principal that the song was "offensive" and "a violation of church and state".

When the parents threatened to sue the school district relented and now after further consideration are changing their policy.

Here is a link to the full article at Fox News;

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
