since she is not part of the team, does she have standing to bring such a law suit?
Tell the atheist to go watch some soccer team.
Just punt Monica Miller and the problem is solved. She is just another socialist liberal busy body with a nose much larger than her portraits depict.
Monica Miller is the Legal Working Group Leader of the Nonhuman Rights Project. She graduated from Pitzer College in 2008 and from Columbia University in 2009 with a Masters in Public Administration for Environmental Science and Policy. She graduated cum laude from Vermont Law School in 2012.
In college, Monica founded the Pitzer Animal Welfare Society, and in law school she served as co-chair of the Animal Law Society. She also created the “Veg Pledge” program at Vermont Law School, which encourages student groups to go vegetarian throughout the school year. Monica was a Dean’s Fellow at Vermont Law School where she taught first-year legal writing. She was a semi-finalist in the 2012 Animal Law Moot Court Competition.
In pursuit of her concern for civil rights and constitutional law, Monica also works at the American Humanist Association, assisting in First Amendment rights and constitutional equality litigation.
I wish some of these self-described “concerned citizens” actually cared about our country going rapidly out of business.
They rarely need to actually file the suit. Just the threat sends Christians scurrying and they bow down and says “okay, you win”.
How “Christian” is it to not stand up for what you say you believe in?
Gee Whiz.
Another brilliant, intellectual, caring, inclusive, loving, really-really smart Progressive activist protecting the world from knuckle-dragging, ignorant, moronic, bible-thumping, gun-loving Christians.
/s/
IMHO
does she get paid for all that nonsense?
these heathens are out of control much like judges
Most likely not. She is paving her way to the hallowed halls of Progressiveness and just now paying her dues. Just another brainless book smart dolt who missed the important half of the clause about freedom of religion; “or the free exercise thereof”.
I always like how they miss the "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" portion.
Hating God, what a way to spend your day. These people live as though they will never die.
Aside from being the basis of more than one religion, isn’t the Bible also a great source, generally, of ancient wisdom and philosophy? Can’t someone be quoting it in that context?
After all, if I started the Church of Socrates, and I considered him to be a deity and all the writing of Socrates to be my scriptures, then would the Atheists or any other group be able to ban having his writings quoted in schools on that basis?
I’m really tired of all these anti-religion groups AND various judges not understanding the first amendment!
The so-called ‘separation of church and state’ means the Government cannot establish a religion via law/dictate that is the religion of the country. That was to forebade anything like the Church of England that existed under George III and permit citizens to practice their own religions.
What will it take to slap silly these activist judges that ignore the meaning of the Constitution?
What should happen is AHA files a suit and a judge dismisses it as frivolous. At least that’s the way things are supposed to work here in America.
And also, and perhaps most importantly, it begins “”Congress shall make no law...”.
So in other words, it’s all about what Congress WILL NOT do, not about what that WILL do.
If she had gone against the Muzzies for doing this she would have had her head chopped off by now.
If they were true atheists, they wouldn’t care.
This lawyer, this group is forcing the school to promote Atheism, a religion.
That is in violation of the First Amendment.
I think this sucks and I’m an Atheist. I see no harm at all in these traditions. It’s a mind your own business thing all the way.
