Meanwhile, in New Haven Those wacky Yale Divinity School students are at it again—to mark the beginning of Lent, a few dozen students, faculty and administrators ceremonially burned copies of the Ten Commandments and the Bill of Rights.

As the Yale Daily News reports,

At the Feb. 21 service, a few dozen students, faculty, administrators and members of the New Haven community gathered in the Divinity School Quadrangle to reflect upon the role of Christians in a nation that, student organizers said, is increasingly secular and whose government systematically violates its citizens’ rights. In lieu of the traditional ashes that are prepared by burning palm leaves, the attendees burned copies of the Ten Commandments and the Bill of Rights and marked each other with the ashes to symbolize the abandonment of the principles set forth by the documents.

The usual suspects are up in arms.

Me, I'm glad to see any signs of spirit in this country. Four years at war now, and everyone seems more concerned with having enough money to buy flat screen TVs on which to watch American Idol.....
