'Evil little thing' or defender of the constitution?

[Two Thumbs]

Well?

Is Jessica Ahlquist an... "'Evil little thing' or defender of the constitution?" You decide but as for me I vote on the side of the seperation of church and state. You constitutionalists should also.







NYT: Atheist teen forces school to remove prayer - US news - The New York Times - msnbc.com

CRANSTON, R.I. She is 16, the daughter of a firefighter and a nurse, a self-proclaimed nerd who loves Harry Potter and Facebook. But Jessica Ahlquist is also an outspoken atheist who has incensed this heavily Roman Catholic city with a successful lawsuit to get a prayer removed from the wall of her high school auditorium, where it has hung for 49 years.

A federal judge ruled this month that the prayer’s presence at Cranston High School West was unconstitutional, concluding that it violated the principle of government neutrality in religion.

In the weeks since, residents have crowded school board meetings to demand an appeal, Jessica has received online threats and the police have escorted her at school, and Cranston, a dense city of 80,000 just south of Providence, has throbbed with raw emotion.

State Representative Peter G. Palumbo, a Democrat from Cranston, called Jessica “an evil little thing” on a popular talk radio show. Three separate florists refused to deliver her roses sent from a national atheist group. The group, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, has filed a complaint with the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights...

As a Constitutionalist

It's Freedom of religion, not from religion.

As long as she is not forced to read the prayer, this is overly sensitive liberal horseshit.

Unfortuantely they love lies more than our wonderful country

Sounds exactly like you are talking about libtards. Trust me, libtards are anti-American.

Are you saying that a government agency (a school) having such a prayer on it's walls is NOT promoting a particular kind of religion?

Is it a state or federal school?

If it's a state school, they can put up anything they like.

and if it's a generic prayer [christian, I will assume] it's not exactly being a picking since jews and muslims originate from the same source, and buddist seek wisdom where they find it.

This is just someone getting bent outta shape for 15 minuts of fame

A libtard is a liberal retard who thinks it is the gov't.s job to take care of the people and want bigger gov't.
A libtard assumes to know what the founding fathers wanted and what the constitution says but are so far off the mark it is pitiful. A libtard is like obamaturd who thinks he is constitutionalist yet violates it all the time.

ANY religion that refers to a Heavenly Father (not all do)...any religion that ends their prayers with Amen (not all do).

BTW...I am in support of keeping that up with the "Heavenly Father" and the "Amen" lopped off. It is just as affective as a statement of affirmation without those words, don't you think?

I agree.

I even made a similar post further back saying that without the top or bottom of it it's a good code of conduct.

But what happens to the "free exercise thereof"?

I simply asked which specific religion it was promoting.

The word "promoting" isn't in the COTUS.

The word "establishment" is, however.
How are they establishing a state-religion with this prayer?

Yes it does, it is called the second amendment.
