On February 9th, Florida’s Yulee High School brought the hammer down on a student who offended some of his fellow classmates. The student was reprimanded for his actions after reading the morning announcements over the school’s intercom.
Why?
Upon finishing the announcements, the student added, ‘God Bless America.’
Two atheist students took offense to the statement. A school spokesperson for the Nassau County School District said that the student had gone off script and was being reprimanded:
“It wasn’t part of the scripted morning announcements,” district spokesperson Sharyl Wood said. “The principal took the appropriate steps in speaking with the student and disciplining the student.”
The students, bypassing their principal altogether, went directly to the American Humanist Association, a group that “advocates progressive values and equality for humanists, atheists and freethinkers.” The AHA wrote a letter through a legal arm called the Appignani Humanist Legal Center, even threatening legal action against the school district.

Stupids leftists, and their weak-kneed oposition!
He should have said allah Bless America. That would have been ok.
Just say,”I’m thinking ,God Bless America” , LOL , their heads would explode
disciplining the student for what? The student did nothing wrong.
the Appignani Humanist Legal Center
now thats RIPE for the picking!!
God Have Mercy on Us.
Sounds like the principal violated his First Amendment Rights....TWICE!
I went to the website of the Appignani Humanist Legal Center. Tried to find any mention of any actions they took against the islamic religion being imposed on any schools. Couldnt find anything. Just against christianity.
I used their search engine to look up the word “islam”. This is what I got:
“Search Result for “islam” — 0 articles
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”
Thats ok. Its not as if the student was a muslim.
Don't Tread on Us, you Marxist liberal bastards....
Get your children out of the government indoctrination centers - NOW!
He should have yelled alkaku Akbar or gay marriage is great or kill the masses of tissue. Then he would have been given an award.
That doesn’t surprise me, does it you? These leftist, Marxist groups lay in wait for the next district/entity to sue because of overtly Christian public displays.
What is going on with FL? Have they become Californiaized? Too many lefties moving down from the East coast?
Even Obama.
I take offense to them being atheists, so punish them.
“It is inappropriate and unlawful for a public school to start the school day with an official statement over the intercom stating, ‘God Bless America,’ for such a statement affirms God-belief, validates a theistic worldview and is invidious toward atheists and other nonbelievers,”
Screw the atheists and other nonbelievers, they are going to
hell anyway but unlawful?
What kind of loonytoon place is this. If this is
seriously the case then is money unlawful to have in this
whacked out school district. I mean you surely can’t have
a piece of paper in your possession that says “I God We Trust”.
This is about as stupid as saying “in hospital” instead of
“in the hospital”.
“Even Obama.”
Yea but it’s pretty safe to say he’s lying about it.
What is going on with FL? Have they become Californiaized?
Yes and since it is closer to the northeastern communist
block, it’s looking a lot loonier.
The western Left has become a parody of itself.
