School Orders Child to Remove G-d From Poem

The child, a young girl at West Marion Elementary School in North Carolina was ordered by Principal Desarae Kirkpatrick to remove the word G-d from her poem that was to be read later that day at a Veteran's Day ceremony.

A North Carolina community is embroiled in controversy after a school ordered a six-year-old girl to remove the word “G-d” from a poem that she was supposed to read during a Veteran’s Day ceremony.

The girl is a first-grader at West Marion Elementary School. She was supposed to read the poem during a school assembly marking Veteran’s Day. The poem honored her two grandfathers who had served during the Vietnam War.

“He prayed to G-d for peace, he prayed to G-d for strength,” the poem read.

A parent reportedly found out about the poem and expressed concern about mentioning the word G-d during a school event. The parent did not want the Almighty’s name mentioned anywhere in the program, according to one account.

“We wanted to make sure we were upholding the school district’s responsibility of separation of church and state from the Establishment Clause,” Supt. Gerri Martin told the McDowell News.

Martin told the newspaper she made the decision in consultation with the school’s principal and vice principal.

“We jointly decided that we must err on the side of caution to prevent crossing the line on the Establishment Clause of the Constitution,” Kirkpatrick told the newspaper. “As a principal of a public school, I must put aside my personal religious beliefs and follow the law — which upholds that we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, but that we, as public schools, cannot endorse one single religion over another.”

Fox News contacted the parents of the child but they declined to comment on the controversy.

The incident has sparked widespread concern across this western North Carolina community — called by many the buckle of the Bible Belt.

“I’m reserving my opinion at this point – but I’m very concerned that the young lady’s First Amendment rights have been broken,” said Scott Hagaman, senior pastor of Marion’s First Baptist Church.

He told Fox News that ministers across the community are alarmed what happened and many are asking questions.

“It’s saturated the community,” he said. “I’m quite sure it will be handled appropriately and fairly but right now there is a lot of concern that this child was not treated appropriately.”

The issue is expected to be addressed by local residents at next week’s school board meeting.

“I am outraged that a school would deny a six year old child her First Amendment rights — especially during an assembly to honor our nation’s veterans,” Trudy Pascoe told Fox News. “It is unacceptable for schools to continue to deny students rights because of their Christian viewpoint.”

Chris Greene, who happens to be employed by the school district, spoke to board members earlier this week.

“My question is this, when do the rights of one outweigh the rights of another,” he asked in remarks covered by the local newspaper. “I believe that this little girl’s rights were violated and that those who worked so hard to prepare this program should receive an apology.”

Pastor Hagaman said it’s no surprise that the First Amendment debate has reached their small town.

“I don’t think there’s anywhere in the country where you can hide from these issues — with the culture changing so quickly,” he said.

G-d is no longer to be mentioned any where.  Next it will be the crosses on the churches or perhaps just destroying the churches themselves.

I wonder if these idiots would have done the same thing if the word was Allah and not G-d.  Do you think the Muslim community would have responded the way the Christian community has?

I don't think so.

Why Would Any Jew Belong To The Democratic Party?

This is a question that every Jew should ask themselves.  The Democrats take for granted that the majority of Jews will vote for them.  That Jews will donate massive amounts of money to them.  That they can walk all over the Jews and they will still support them.  Then again maybe not.  Jewish money has dried up for Democratic and Obama causes.  Jewish support for Obama is dropping like a lead weight.  And now the North Carolina Democratic Party has proposed this:

The North Carolina Democratic Party (NCDP) is considering passing a resolution that would criticize Israel for its “illegal occupation of Palestine,” The Daily Caller reported.

While the resolution did not pass at this weekend’s NCDP state convention, it was tabled to be considered at a later date.

It attacks the United States for providing Israel with “$3 billion annually in military aid,” while the “Israeli occupation, disenfranchisement and impoverishment of significant numbers of the Palestinian population, and Israel’s overwhelming military might and its role as the only nuclear power threaten stability in a region witnessing increased demands for democracy and an end to autocratic rule.”

In the resolution, which is titled “Bringing a Just Peace to the Middle East: Israel and Palestine,” the authors accuse Israel of using “this aid to continue its illegal occupation, demolition of Palestinian homes, expansion of existing illegal settlements built on expropriated Palestinian land, and a continued blockade of essential goods from Gaza, a blockade causing a U.N.-documented humanitarian crisis.”

The resolution also says that the United States’ aid causes “violence and insecurity to Israelis, Palestinians, and helps subvert any prospect for peace.” It goes on to accuse Israel of “human rights violations” and “illegal occupation” that “violate international and U.S. law.”

If passed, the resolution would mean the NCDP “would hold its elected congress members and senators accountable for helping end our government’s role in continuing the Israeli Palestinian tragedy by making the human rights of both peoples central to U.S. foreign policy, by ending Israel’s illegal occupation, by advocating for a viable Palestinian state, and membership of that state in the United Nations.”

It would also mean the NCDP would advocate its congressional delegation bring “all parties, including Hamas, to the table to negotiate an end to the Israeli Occupation and a secure peace based on the 1967 borders,” among other things, noted The Daily Caller.

While the resolution was the only one that did not pass at Saturday’s NCDP convention, it is still being seriously considered by party members, according to the Raleigh News and Observer.

The next step is to demand this become part of the Democratic Platform at the National Convention.  A convention that is to occur at Charlotte, North Carolina.  A coincidence? I believe that it is no coincidence.

I am amazed that any member of the Jewish faith would remain a part of the Democratic Party.  A party that embraces anti-Semites as Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Shelia Jackson-Lee, Maxine Waters, etc...

The time has come for the Jewish community to leave the Democratic Party en mass.  For The Tribe to remind the Democrats that they too are a minority that needs to be protected.  That they support their family in Israel.  That it was the anti-Semitic policies of Franklyn Delano Roosevelt and the Democrats that help murder 6 million European Jews.  That American Jews will NOT go quietly to the gas chambers this time.  It is time to say to Obama and the Democratic Party:  GOOD BYE!!!!!
