ACLU Hate Of Christians Suing Over Prayer Banner

The Rhode Island chapter of the ACLU received a single complaint about a prayer banner that has been hanging in Cranston High School since 1960.  The ACLU asked the district to remove the banner because it violated the First Amendment and vowed to sue if it was not taken down.

The Cranston School Committee voted 4-3 Monday to keep the banner at Cranston High School West even if it means a costly legal battle.  The school district has decided that if it comes down to a fight.  They are willing to fight the American Civil Liberties Union over a prayer banner hanging inside a public school.

The banner reads:

Our Heavenly Father,

Grant us each day the desire to do our best,

To grow mentally and morally as well as physically,

To be kind and helpful to our classmates and teachers,

To be honest with ourselves as well as with others,

Help us to be good sports and smile when we lose as well as when we win,

Teach us the value of true friendship,

Help us always to conduct ourselves so as to bring credit to Cranston High School West.

Amen

The banner was created in 1960 by David Bradley, then a 14-year old student. He said the banner is secular and not a prayer.  “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with ‘Our Heavenly Father,’” Bradley told WPRI-TV. “It’s just too easy to offend people in America these days. People should just suck it up and understand that this is a diverse country.”

The ACLU and some socialist judges need to take a reading course.  There is NOTHING in the First Amendment that forbids a banner like the one in Cranston High School.  In fact possibly the opposite is true. 

The First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Forcing the removal of the banner may abridge rights.  The socialists have to destroy religion to move America to socialism.  They will stop at nothing to achieve their socialist goals.
