“The Thomas More Law Center announced on May 1 that it has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Poway School District, claiming that school officials violated Johnson’s constitutional rights.”

This PC BS is out of control...I hope he wins.

I once made a graphic of the troopers when they grabbed Elian Gonzalez with the caption. "We are from the government and we're here to help you."

My boss got really mad and made me take it down.

Sure, but it’s ok to idolize Nirvana and their drug use.

Hostility toward ONE religion. IF this had been about the machete-wielders, the administrators would have promoted it.

The following phrases struck the school board as objectionable: “In God We Trust,” the official motto of the United States;...

Make them empty their pockets, and surrender all that American money with that "illegal" motto on it. I'll take it off their hands just so they don't have to acknowledge even the word "God".

I applaud your compassion for the school boards sensibilities.
Can I have a loan after they give you their offensive money?

I wonder if the reporter understood the irony of leading off with a teacher having a poster of the band “Nirvana”, given that Nirvana is a religious concept of heaven in Budhism, which makes it as much of a religious message as “In God We Trust”.

The author also could have noted that the actual National Anthem has the words “In God is our Trust”, just not in the part generally known to the population.

I already posted a comment that we had to stand up for and get more vocal about our rights, both to defend our own rights and to be a witness to the world that our religion actually matters to us.
