Atheist fags complain about back-to-school prayer event at Alabama high school

It was supposed to be a small, back-to-school event at the high 
school gym.

“Please join us in praying for God’s protective hand to be over 
our schools, facilities, and students,” a Facebook post said 
promoting the event at Fyffe High School in Alabama.

But the Freedom From Religion Foundation said it’s a clear 
violation of church and state and has asked the superintendent 
of DeKalb County to investigate the event, which is scheduled 
for Sunday.

“DeKalb County Schools must make certain that its teachers and 
administrators are not unlawfully and inappropriately 
indoctrinating students in religious matters,” the letter said, 
adding that it was ostracizing non-believers.


“School sponsorship of a religious massage is impermissible 
‘because it sends the ancillary message to… non-adherents that 
they are outsiders, not full members of the political 
community,’” the letter said.

Officials at the school would not comment on the matter. But on 
Facebook, the responses seem to support the school.

“We wont be bullied by frivolous lawsuits,” one post said. 
“School did nothing wrong.”

Another person said: “We have done this for a few years now, it 
is a good way to start the new year off.”

The FFRF also complained in May that coaches in Chatom, Ala. 
were doing "illegal" activities when they oversaw 18 football 
players get baptized near the field.
