Barry Lynn, president of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, is bullying children in a school district to shut them up.
In Tuscumbia, Alabama (population 8,734), the children in the local elementary school will be singing "Silent Night" as part of their Christmas program. That is too much for Lynn and his radical leftist gang. They are threatening the school district with a lawsuit in order to censor the song.
A local news station quoted Lynn as saying... “I hope that cooler heads prevail and people understand that this is a significant constitutional issue and they don't go along with the idea of continuing the plans to sing this hymn as part of what should be a secular public school event.”
Thankfully, the district told WAFF 45 Wednesday they don't plan on making any edits to the program. We assume that’s because the school leaders understand that having one religious song as part of a Christmas program is NOT unconstitutional. Court cases and even state academic standards support this.
