One of the most basic creeds in the Christian Church is the Apostle’s creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
    the Creator of heaven and earth,
    and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
    born of the Virgin Mary,
    suffered under Pontius Pilate,
    was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven
    and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
    whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church,
    the communion of saints,
    the forgiveness of sins,
    the resurrection of the body,
    and life everlasting.

Amen.

In a nutshell this is the basis of Christianity. There is also the Nicene creed, which says in part:

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

Since I started blogging I have blogged way too many cases of stupidity in our public schools, but every time I turn around, it seems like the schools are in a bid to out do each other.

Take this story, where at a middle school Virgina, they have a policy that forbids any form of contact between students.  No hand holding, no shaking hands, no high fives, nothing.

Va. School's No-Contact Rule Is a Touchy Subject

Fairfax County middle school student Hal Beaulieu hopped up from his lunch table one day a few months ago, sat next to his girlfriend and slipped his arm around her shoulder. That landed him a trip to the school office.

Among his crimes: hugging.

When hugging is outlawed, only outlaws will hug?
