A demand by the American Civil Liberties Union that Breen Elementary School in Rocklin remove a "God Bless America" sign prompted angry parents, students and administrators to rally at the school Friday evening.

About 250 people, many clad in red, white and blue, gathered to support the message, which was placed on a marquee in front of the school after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

Some ought to take those of the ACLU behind the woodshed and horse whip some sense in them.... literally speaking.....

But, a kudos should be handed to Breen Elementary Principal, Terry Thornton for handling this issue and dealing with it as it stands. :o)

[pabianice]

The ACLU is an unofficial American auxillary of Bin Laden's organization and should be treated as such.

"Stella Richardson, media relations director for the ACLU of Northern California, said, "It is entirely unprecedented" for a school not to take down a message such as Breen displays."

September 11 changed a lot of things. ACLU and other terrorist organizations are in for a hard time.

Like this is the way from now on. These commie groups attack an American tradition and the right stand in their face and say no. Get the he*& out of this country if you want to stand with evil. Guess how many democrats and liberals are jumping ship. A lot right now.

The real leftist don't know what to do they are being stood up to. Glory days are coming back for America.

[Skooz]

Shall the people rule?

Not if the ACLU goose-stepping thugs have anything to say about it.

I can't seem to find any email addresses. We need to find a way to let these patriotic Americans that there are a lot of people who salute their bravory in the face of evil.

These enemies of freedom and America are gonna start seeing a lot of "unprecedented" backlash against their ilk who have slimed our nation for too long.
God bless Breen Elementary School!

It's time for the news media (perhaps Bill OReilly) to do an expose' to expose the ACLU for what it is and from whence it came.

Thanks for the post. Where is the contact info so that this divisive witch and her cohorts can be "communicated with". These folks need a good talking to, plus, plus.

Before receiving the letter, Rocklin Superintendent Kevin Brown said he had received calls from two people asking that the statement on the marquee be removed.

And WHO is being divisive? If two(2) Christian fundamentalists asked that a Harry Potter book be removed from the library, you KNOW that the ACLU would write a letter to the school in support of their position

I am a school photographer in WA state. I have seen many schools with "God Bless America" on their school or district signs. I say God bless the schools or districts that do so.

[bettina0]

Wow, a public school that is civic minded and shows some patriotic pride. This is so unusual for this type of institution.

[goodieD]

someone needs to beat the ACLU with a copy of the Constitution, particularly the 1st amendment, even better were that copy made of stone.

[goodnesswins]

It's about time we did something FOR THE CHILDREN and booted the ACLU outta here.....tell them to go find a better country....

[runningbear]

I am not sure if they are still designing their website, but here is the directory of the Rocklin Unified School District link. Maybe send email according to those mentioned on the article or the Super.

Now, how in the world can a school violate the US Constitution? The ACLU seems to be an organization made up of constitutionally illiterate morons.

[Bommer]

ACLU
DEFENDERS OF CHILD MOLESTERS! HATERS OF GOD!

DESTROY ALL ENEMIES OF AMERICA! FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC

[runningbear]

The super... of the district has an email address at this link.
