I believe in God, and so did most of our founding fathers (98%) and all of our state constitutions give honor to Him, as well as our Declaration of Independence. Yet many of our public schools have adopted the stupid policy that we can't mention God. This is political correctness run wild! These schools are all given the responsibility of transmitting to our children their heritage; and it is not a communist heritage or an Islamic heritage. It is a Christian heritage. I'm sick of the leftist social engineers using our children to try and develop a society that is foreign to us and that has failed everywhere it has been tried! I say we should censor them and all educators who want to follow them. If the ACLU doesn't like this, let them go to communist Russia, or China, and practice law there. They certainly don't respect the heritage of this country that produced the laws they hide under! I am a retired educator of 33 years before I was ordained as a Christian pastor and I know our education system was never intended to change our historical heritage.
To the citizens of Tennessee I say it's time to censor some of your school teachers and administrators and let them know who they work for. If they want to kick God out of the schools, then its time to kick them out! The same message should be sent to every other American school, while we are still America. If the court systems want to side with atheists like the ACLU, then they can be impeached as well! America, its time to get mad! Before you don't have an America to get mad about!
Here is the article, one of many, that got me so mad. I hope it gets you the same way.
Tennessee school censors references to God in students' art

A Tennessee elementary school is censoring the words "In God We Trust" and "God Bless the USA" on student made posters in its hallway. The school leadership claims the offending language was covered up because it included the word "God", and as a result was in violation of existing school board policy.
Of course pay no mind to the fact that "In God We Trust" IS our national motto...made such by the US Congress no less in 1956. But this school (and one assumes the school board) would rather be cowed by the ACLU. And this behavior comes despite the fact that the school district won a case against the ACLU just last year.
... In 2006, lawyers from the ACLU sued the school to stop it from recognizing religious events, including See You at the Pole and the National Day of Prayer.
In May 2008, a U.S. District Court judge refused to grant the ACLU's request.
This year, each poster, made on personal time without the use of any school funds or supplies, included the disclaimer: "See You at the Pole is a student-initiated and student-led event and is not endorsed by Lakeview Elementary or Wilson County schools."
Nevertheless, the lawsuit states, the school's assistant principal told parents – upon advisement from the principal and director of schools for the county – that Scripture verses and phrases mentioning "God" would not be permitted on the posters. Even "come pray" was deemed in violation of school policy for using the word "pray." ...
So we've now gone so far that a student, working on their own time with their own materials, can't mention God - even if they include a lengthy lawyer-written disclaimer?
The answer is "yes".
