Florida Student Told No 'God Bless America' In Morning Announcements By Letitia Stein
TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - A Florida high school told a student this week to stop adding the phrase "God bless America" when reading scripted morning announcements, drawing protests and irate phone calls from around the nation, school officials said on Friday.
The principal at Yulee High School, located in north Florida near Jacksonville, asked the student to stick to the script after receiving a six-page letter on Monday from the American Humanist Association, a group that describes itself as advocating for humanists, atheists and secular governance.
The letter said two Yulee students who are atheists had complained about the use over the past several weeks of the phrase.
"Don’t ad-lib. Just read what's on the script, and don’t put anything else on it," was the message given to the student announcer, said Sharyl Wood, a spokeswoman for the school district in Nassau County, just north of Jacksonville.

“And a further note says: ‘Don’t say God Bless America’”.
I’d say, “God bless my underwear!”
Atheism is a religion. They just believe in no God. They think all this happens by pure coincidence. Just like computers, phones, cars and homes. No one built it.... It just spawned out of thin air like magic, and one day out of nothing with all the bells and whistles.
The world is upside down, inside out and spinning backwards all at the same time.
They’re every bit the 24/7 proselytizing missionaries they claim to despise. But while Christian missionaries typically use the Holy Spirit and charity to persuade, these vermin use the armed power of the state to force.
I wonder where the parking lot is for their headquarters.
Saying no to God Bless America is the same as saying God Da$% America to us. So why not just be grownups and let people decide how they should feel about it. We can handle it. By not allowing us to say that you are getting YOUR way. So how FAIR is that?
An Allah Ackbar would probably be fine.
If a muzzie PRESIDENT can say it on national TV .. a kid can say it ANY frikkin' where
At the end of the announcements, all of the kids, who support American values) should say aloud God Bless America!
And it takes a leap of faith just like all other religions.
Then at the end of the announcements just read something off of a US one dollar bill, the phrase above the ONE on the back of the bill. That's gotta be OK, as the bill is official, a US document if you will.
This is more than atheism, or mere secularism. This is anti-Christianity, and anti-Christianity is really a spirit of evil, aka Satanism.
When these supposed atheists hear talk of Buddha, Gaia or
allah, it does not offend, but when a Christian talks of God or even worse Jesus, the atheist (really a Satanist) becomes incensed and unhinged much like when Dracula sees the silver cross or a mirror
These people deny a belief in God, but they have a nagging persistent doubt, a cognitive dissonance. They consciously or unconsciously follow Lucifer because they want to believe that there are no limits or consequences to their behavior. Christians are a painful reminder that they are wrong and they hate that more than anything.
“It just spawned out if thin air like magic”
Exactly, they believe in magic.
But its ok for a florida school to force students to recite an islamic prayer:
