Religious Jelly Beans? Were they sacramental Jelly Bellys? No it was a bag a jellybeans with a prayer.<\/p>\n

DAYTON, Ohio — Parents have sued a school district because a kindergarten teacher stopped their daughter from distributing bags of jellybeans with an attached prayer to her classmates.<\/p>\n

Allen and Sheila Wuebben, of suburban Kettering, say the school’s policy of prohibiting students from distributing religious literature in the classroom violates their daughter Madison’s rights to freedom of speech and religion.

Well I was curious what the Jellybean prayer was so I Googled it.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n

Jellybean Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

RED <\/font> is
\nfor the blood He gave.
\n<\/font> GREEN <\/font> is
\nfor the grass He made.
\n<\/font> YELLOW <\/font> is
\nfor the sun so bright.
\n<\/font> BLACK <\/font> is
\nfor the dark of night.
\n<\/font> BLUE <\/font> is
\nfor the sky He made.
\n<\/font> WHITE <\/font> is
\nfor the grace He gave.
\n<\/font> PURPLE <\/font> is
\nfor His hours of sorrow.
\n<\/font> PINK <\/font> is
\nfor our new tomorrow.<\/p>\n

A bag full of jelly beans, colorful and sweet
\nis a prayer, a promise, and a child’s treat.
\nMay the risen Lord bless you this Easter and always.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Well I am not so sure about the idea of spreading the Gospel to Kindergarten kids via candy. You can easily mix up picking up the cross and then having to pick up the dental floss. It is the truth that will set you free, not the sweet tooth that will set you free. Even if the candy is really pure – kind of a Immaculate Confection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
