Penn. School Stops Stating "God Bless America;" Due to Parent Complaint That Phrase Is Unconst.

A Pennsylvania school stopped saying "God Bless America" over the loudspeaker after a parent complained and an organization of atheists got involved, the Christian Headlines website reports today (April 29, 2019).

Sabold Elementary School in Springfield, Penn. had a custom of allowing users of the loudspeaker to say "God Bless America" after the morning Pledge of Allegiance.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, acting on a complaint from a parent, wrote the superintendent March 25 and argued that the action was unconstitutional.

Consequently, the school ended the practice.
