A school putting "God Bless America" on a marquee doesn't do any harm. BTW the ACLU is not a Libertarian organization.

I'm aware of that but Storm Orphan is and he was trying to draw a nexis between the "God bless America" sign and the Constitution forbidding such a "pernicious" (my attempt at sarcasm) act.

I thought that was what the thread was about. Am I mistaken?

You're not mistaken. I was expressing my own opinion.

I am a libertarian organization? Oh my, I shall incorporate immediately to save on taxes.

If James Madison, author of the First Amendment, saw Army chaplainships and "national days of prayer" as dangerous in that they could be used as precedent for violating the First Amendment, then certainly putting a sign up declaring a support for monotheism on a state school is in the same category.

And if you would support separation of State and School, you wouldn't have this problem.
