God Bless America- but wait! |
|
I walked into my son's elementary school today. Proudly displayed was this new sign - "God Bless America."
Frack!
What can I do about this?!

Since it's not necessarily a religious expression (being the name of a song), it falls under the same pervue as "In God We Trust," and the Pledge of Allegiance w/ Under God.
IIRC, there's court precedence that will go against you.

3. Report it to your local media and complain to the principal and district. |

That's bullshit, and has no place in a public school.
maybe go in your own signs saying "Buddha bless America" and "Allah Bless America" and "Whatever wicker-based leaf-covered goddess fertility totem fetish thing Wiccans pray to bless America"

thanks for the link. I sent them an email...we'll see what happens. I live in the bible belt, and one has to be very careful about the battles one picks.

I have no clue whether "God Bless America" is a violation of church/state law, so I know for sure that AU can help you. It's best to know your options first before taking any action.
