If this is not the right place to put this feel free to move it--thanks

A local TN pastor, Alan Stewart, was asked to speak last month at a local school to offer a 9/11 Tribute. It seems the First Amendment right to speak of G-d is a constant source of irritation to the Freedom FROM Religion Foundation (FFRF).

To read the thin-skinned complaints of the FFRF—you would think the mere mention of the word of G-d is akin to kryptonite. A few weeks after the speech had been delivered; a Department of Education attorney received a letter from FFRF demanding an apology for being offended by a speech that dares to mention G-d.

Pastor Alan Stewart provides a response letter that is well worth the time to read. The Pastor’s response letter not only corrects many factually incorrect FFRF statements made in their original letter, but also requests an apology from FFRF for attempting to trample on the First Amendment rights of Americans and students throughout America.

Pastor Alan Stewart’s closing letter paragraphs state the following:

[…] I am of the strong opinion that the actions of the FFRF organization are unconstitutional based upon Justice Tom Clark’s declaration in the Supreme Court decision in the 1963 case, School District of Abington Township vs. Schempp, 374 U.S. 203 (1963). “Secularism is unconstitutional…preferring those who do not believe over those who do believe… lt is the duty of government to deter no-belief religions…The State may not establish a ‘religion of secularism’ in the sense of affirmatively opposing or showing hostility to religion, thus preferring those who believe in no religion over those who do believe.”

Based upon this declaration and the fact the FFRF has repeatedly used misinterpreted rulings by the Supreme Court as the basis for their intimidating demands, it is both right and proper that every school district, superintendent, principal, teacher, staff, and student affected by these actions receive an apology. My desire is to ensure our educational leaders are able to use their professional training, life skills, and experience to enrich and equip their students for life without the fear of retaliation and suppressing the dictates of their own conscience.
