God Removed from First-Grader #39;s Poem in North Carolina Elementary School
On America Live today, Trace Gallagher reported on a story out of North Carolina, where an elementary school forced a first-grader to remove references to God from a poem she planned to read to fellow students. The student at West Marion Elementary School was set to recite a Veterans Day poem to honor her grandfather. The line that was removed read, "He prayed to God for peace, he prayed to God for strength." Supporters of the public school #39;s decision say officials had to remove the references to God once the poem was going to be read at an assembly. The Alliance Defending Freedom, which advocates religious freedom, criticized the school #39;s decision in a statement. "The censorship of this young student #39;s poem about her grandfather is repugnant to the First Amendment rights of all students and sends an impermissible message of hostility towards religion," the group argued.From:hrs91nViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:12More inNews Politics
