SPRINGFIELD, Pa. (AP) - A Pennsylvania school principal will no longer say "God bless America" after leading students in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Peter Brigg's practice at Sabold Elementary School in Springfield led at least one parent to complain to the Freedom for Religion Foundation, whose attorney contacted the district. The group claimed it violated the U.S. Constitution's prohibition of government sponsoring religious messages.
The district decided to cease the practice after consulting with its lawyer. In a statement , the district says it is not prohibiting students from reciting "God bless America" after the pledge on their own.

It wasn’t Achmed on the phone to the principal calling for this:
It was someone ELSE.

Yeah, I don’t have a problem with it either.
It isn’t like our country is based on a Christian Foundation or anything like that

Will the principal be confiscating all U.S. money that is brought into the school? Just curious.

GOD BLESS AMERICA is our National Motto. The Motto never lost a court case.

Given the path this country has taken, the worst path being the recent legalization of infanticide, I keep asking myself why would God bless us?

The modern motto of the United States of America, as established in a 1956 law
signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, is "In God We Trust". The phrase first
appeared on U.S. coins in 1864.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
