ACLU Goes After Principal for Writing “God Bless You”
The ACLU jihad against Christianity extends into every corner of the country, including Louisiana:
The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana is threatening a local school district over alleged “proselytization” at Bossier Parish School System’s Airline High School.
ACLU of Louisiana Executive Director Marjorie Esman recently penned an open letter to Bossier superintendent D.C. Machen over an alleged “pattern of religious proselytization by establishing ‘prayer boxes’ with Christian symbols throughout the school and by religious messages in newsletters posted to the school’s website,” The Shreveport Times reports.
Specifically, Esman cites a message posted to the Airline High School website by principal Jason Rowland that includes the phrase “May God Bless You All,” as well as “similar messages” from Rowland.
Bellows Esman menacingly:
“Please confirm to this office that the School Board will take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the law.”
You would think we were living in Soviet Russia.
At least the besieged school has a champion:
State Rep. Mike Johnson, a Republican from Bossier City, told the Times his law firm is willing to defend the district against the ACLU claims for free, because Johnson thinks they’re bogus.
“This is typical of the ACLU,” he said. “They’re on a seek-and-destroy mission for all things religious.”
Correction: that should read “all things Christian.” If Rowland changed his name to Mohammad and peppered his letters with calls to butcher the unbelievers, the ACLU would promptly climb off his back.
Johnson pointed out that the student prayer boxes cited in the ACLU complaint do not even yet exist, and are currently just a proposal from a student group.
It is Orwellian to the point of self-parody that the ACLU uses the First Amendment to justify its thuggish campaign to eradicate Christianity. That amendment was clearly intended to protect the free exercise of religion, not to repress it
