This is really close to my county home. And very well could be near you soon enough also. Pay attention because the freedom from religion foundation does this all over the country and for the school system that stands its ground they always win. Because student led prayer is legal. Students, parents and churches should be crowding into that board of education meetings and let them know if the school won't fight, the parents will by getting the case sent to 1 of many like Alliance Defending Freedom who defends religious freedom with 5400 attorneys and pro bono. And if not met then remind your board of education they can be voted out.


Share this to your Lowndes county friends and remember you dont have to have a kid in the school to get involved. If you are a tax paying citizen then you have just as much say in the public education system.

FFRF's Tax ID no.‎: ‎39-1302520

FFRF very often unites with the ACLU , which at its inception was grounded in Communist principles, when pursuing eradication of individual Christians civil liberties.

Were there to be a fight against such tactics as make the news from time to time, I'd think it would be best to begin where it can do the most hurt. Their bank account.
FFRF as I recall is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. However, their exemption is identified as an educational entity.
Where is there education in pursuit of quashing Christian religious civil liberties?

I think if an organization pursues political agendas like FFRF does when they threaten for instance public schools with lawsuits if the school permits graduating students to reference God in their ceremonial speeches, that they're then transgressing their IRS identity as "educational", and moving into the realm of not only politics but also into the area of civil liberties violation.

A student who thanks God during their "with honors" senior graduation speech is perfectly entitled to do so. The school , being tax payer funded as a public education campus, is not establishing a religion in permitting that student to express their unalienable 1st amendment right of religious freedom.
The establishment clause in the Constitution precludes the Federal Government from establishing a theocratic governance of we the people of the United States of America.
The separation of church and state reiterates that. The church, if we recall old England where the church and the crown worked in concert, is precluded from exampling that same model in our nations government. Which is a Constitutional Democratic Republic.
The Establishment Clause does not overcome what is a first right guaranteed in our Constitution. That unalienable right, notice it does not state, privilege, of religious freedom.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


A public school is not Congress.
What FFRF pursues is what the first amendment prohibits. Prohibition of the free exercise of religion.

I would think therefore if enough people gather together and petition the IRS to revoke the tax exemption of FFRF due to the record FFRF has made for itself in transgressing the religious liberties of Christians for years across America, violating their tax exempt allocation as an educational entity when that is not education but rather is usurpation of religious right as a religious individual, that they would then be stripped of that tax exemption.
Consequently, they would at the very least have to pay taxes on all monies raised in furtherance of their pursuit against Christians religious liberties. And possibly they would incur fines for each violation prior to being stripped. Easily assessed due to the numerous headlines that report of this across the country.

That's just off the top of my head.

Thoughts?
