WHAT DOES THE 'C' STAND FOR AGAIN?

Fliers from the YMCA have been banned in Bakersfield because they mention "Christian principles":
Not known as an overtly Christian organization, the YMCA has come under fire in Bakersfield, Calif., where a school district banned the organization's promotional fliers from its campuses.

The local Y can no longer send fliers home with children because a recent one happened to mention the organization puts "Christian principles into practice," reports the Bakersfield Californian.

YMCA officials are fuming, the paper reports, and the brouhaha could possibly affect other area school districts.

And I think we can all tell how well non-Christian principles are working in public schools.

PS Things may be looking up at the YWCA, too, after making a sensible decision regarding their recent president.
