IF I DON'T KNOW. KIND OF AGGRAVATING TO ME. THE HIGH SCHOOL HAS BEEN TOLD TO STOP USING THE PHRASE GOD BLESS AMERICA ON MORNING ANNOUNCEMENT. ATHEIST GROUP CONTACTED THE SCHOOL AND COMPLAINED AND ASK THE PHRASE NOT BE USED DURING THE MORNING ANNOUNCEMENT. SCOTT IS LOOKING INTO THIS AND HE JONES US LIVE NOW FROM PLAY OF THE NIGHT SCHOOL. IF FROM THE DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE AND ATHEIST GROUP PROTECTIVE IF THE PHRASE SHOWS UP ON THE MORNING ANNOUNCEMENT IT MEANS THE DISTRICT ENDORSE A BELIEF IN GOD. WHICH THIS ATHEIST GROUPS SAYS THEY CAN ATHEIST GROUPS SAYS THEY CAN DO. THE STUDENT WAS TOLD TO STOP. CONTROVERSY BEGAN WHEN STUDENT WHO READS MORNING ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL WENT OFF SCRIPT AND ADDED SOME WORD OF HIS OWN, GOD BLESS AMERICA, AMERICA. THE DISTRICT TELLS ME IT HAPPENED MORE THAN WOULD IT HAPPENED MORE THAN WOULD SAY. ATHEIST STUDENTS BOTHERED BY THAT SAID OVER THE LOUD SPEAKER. I THINK EVERYTHING HAS THAT OPINION. THE YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WISH TO SO I MAKE NO STATEMENT SUPPORTING OR DENYING. IF IT'S NOT YOUR BELIEF THEN DON'T SAID. STAWPT REACTION ARE MIXED. MULTIPLE TRUCK TODAY WITH GOD BLESS AMERICA WRITTEN ON THE WINDOW. THIS IS BECOME NATIONAL NEWS BECAUSE OF INSTEAD OF THE STUDENTS LETTING THE PRINCIPAL KNOW A LINE ADDED THEY CONTACTED THE AMERICAN HUMAN ASSOCIATION BASED IN WASHINGTON, D.C. GOT INVOLVED. DON'T WANT GOD LANGUAGE INJECTED IN THE SCHOOL DAY. THEY CONNECTLY PERCEIVE THIS AS THE SCHOOL TAKING A POSITION ON A RELIGIOUS ISSUE PROMOTING THE IDEA OF GOD AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE AND THEY WERE RIGHT ABOUT THAT. IT IS AN ESTABLISHMENT VICHLINGTS AS A RESULT OF THIS THE STUDENT WHO READS ANNOUNCEMENT HAS BEEN ASKED TO STOP SAYING GOD BLESS AMERICA WHEN THEY ARE READ AND STIBINGT TO THE SCRIPT BY THE PRINCIPAL. STUDENT HAS NOT BEEN PUN YOU SHOULD OR REMOVED FROM THE MORNING NOUMTIONMENT. DON'T DO THAT ANY MORE FIGHT SETTING TO KNOW OUR STUDENT WAS KIND OF DOWN FOR. THAT HE SPOKE WHAT HE FELT WAS RIGHT AND I'M KIND OF UPSET OUR PRINCIPAL DIDN'T BACK HIM UP. THEN I FELT HER RIGHT SHE WOULD HAVE GONE IN TROUBLE STANDING UP TO HIM. SCHOOL DISTRICT IS SAYING THIS STUDENT CAN SAY GOD BLESS AMERICA AS MANY TIMES ON CAMPUS URGE THEN A THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOREIGN DOORSMENT BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SEW HAS TO STICK TO THE SCRIPT FOR THE MORNING ANNOUNCEMENT AND WHAT THE ANNOUNCEMENT AND WHAT THE HUMANISM GROUP THINKS OF IT THEY WERE SATISFIED HOW THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RESPONDED.
