This is the most ridiculous court case and should be thrown out as frivolous. If anything it shows how the these atheist "bullies" are up to no good and it is going to cost everyone. The message ont he banner proclaims no religion and seeks to make everyone better. Pick your battles and I for am glad this girl is getting flack for her decision to pursue this. If anything it is a violation of free speech and goes against the Constitution.

To be kind and helpful to our classmates and teachers, to be honest with oursleves as well as with others. Help us to be good sports and to smile when we lose as well as when we win. Teach us the value of true friendship. Help us alwyas to conduct oursleves so as to bring credit to Cranston HighSchool West. Amen.
Which religion does it make a reference to? Does it mention specifically Christianity, Buddhism, Druidism, Hinduism, Allah, Shiva or even Jobu? Does it mention religion at all?
I have a problem with a person who looks at that banner and the great message it contains and has a problem with it.

Not true.

Says exactly nothing about mentioning a religion anywhere.
The ACLU is nothing more than a hate group that seeks publicity and cash to keep them going. They should be abolished.

1st amendment prohibits establishment of any religions, doesn't say anything about mentioning a religion, any religion, even a no name religion.
