In the battle of who can be the most perpetually offended, the racial grievance crowd is matched only by the religion-hating atheists.
These outspoken and angry atheists, who don’t represent the majority of “live-and-let-live” atheists, by the way, are represented by groups like the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a hateful group that attacks anything and everything even remotely resembling Christianity in public schools.
Recently, the FFRF descended upon a Texas high school after a student contacted them and complained about how the principal of the school shared a Bible scripture as part of his usual “Thought for the Day” segment of the morning announcements.

But the Superintendent of White Oak Independent School District, in which the “offending” school is located, was having none of the craziness and frenzy typically brought about by an atheist assault on religion in schools.
Michael Gilbert released a statement putting the FFRF in their place, essentially shutting down their manufactured debate by exposing them for what they really and more or less telling them to take a hike.
According to Chicks on the Right, Gilbert began by saying that he is fully aware of the situation and practices that the FFRF is complaining about and has no intention of changing anything or punishing the principal in any way.

Gilbert said, “Let me be clear, this is an attempt to draw us into a contest of words for the sole purpose of giving the FFRF a large amount of free press/recognition that they and their very few members (1,200 in Texas) do not deserve,” insinuating that the group only wanted negative comments to use to promote their agenda.
“We can and will make the adjustments needed to ensure our students experience a morally sound, positive character based education. There are a multitude of options to provide our students, faculty and staff the opportunity to express their First Amendment Rights as provided for in the United States Constitution,” he continued.
He went on to make it clear that in his view, nobody’s rights were violated, and there is nothing wrong with presenting the Bible or scriptures in a classroom setting, provided it is done in a neutral and informative manner.
Finally, he offered a direct response to the FFRF’s complaints, which read, “I’m sorry you feel that way. I will be praying for you and your staff daily.”

This is great, as the only way the atheist bullies will learn to stop picking fights everywhere is if they are stood up to, confronted and told in no uncertain terms exactly where they can take their hate and intolerance.
