| "Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board." |

Christian club sues US school district authorities over media restriction
|
|
An Oklahoma school district is facing a lawsuit for allegedly forbidding organizers of a Christian club from promoting events on campus.
According to a Fox news report, Matt Sharp, an attorney representing the Kids for Christ, a community-led Christian group, is suing the Owasso Public Schools.
Sharp, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, said the school district told the club it could no longer publicize its events, including discouraging organizers from spreading the word in the community and local media.
They have a specific policy on the books that targets religious expression by community organizations, he told Fox News.
School officials confirmed Monday afternoon they had received the lawsuit, but said they have not had time to review the contents.
Sharp said the club meetings are held at the local elementary school before school and are open to students in kindergarten through the fifth grade.
The superintendent said they were religious and couldn't have the same access as other clubs, he said.
The club was organized last year, and Sharp said the Kids for Christ initially was given permission to promote activities through flyers and announcements. But that changed with the new semester. (ANI)
