"...I am recognizing that my rights come from God, not from the government."

Insufficiently indoctrinated. Perhaps she is salvagable but if not, she needs to be sent to a labor camp where she will learn obedience and loyalty to the party, state and Leader.

"Public schools should not engage in an exercise that tells students that patriotism is tied to a belief in God," said David Niose, attorney for the AHA's Appignani Humanist Legal Center.

Ahem, from the Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Hey, jerkwad -- the Founding Fathers were crystal clear on where Rights come from. As this intelligent young lady said, Rights come from God, whether or not you believe in Him. It is the cornerstone of our entire Republic.

I think little attorney David needs to prove this statement: “Such a daily exercise portrays atheist and humanist children as second-class citizens, and certainly contributes to anti-atheist prejudices.”

Could these people be any more ignorant? Have they never read any American History? Have they never read any writings by the people that founded America? Have they never read the U.S. Constitution?? Do they lack the ability to comprehend that our laws are based on Judea/Christian values/philosophy? That our society was based upon those same values? This is America. You are free to think you are all there is if that works for you. But you are not free from stopping any other American from acknowledge God and the link that God has with the founded of this Nation.

The teacher and the other kids can have a very brief moment of silence.

Good for her. I’m glad to see she’s taking a stand.

And she’s pretty too.

The complainers are more than atheists, they are anti-theists.

So. Don’t say “Under God” if it offends you so much.

There is no requirement or obligation for you to utter any words or phrases you don’t want to.
