Jesus Worshipers Run Amok in Florida Public School

Public schools in St. Johns County, Florida have been infiltrated by Christianist radicals from the top of the organization down, leaving the community in an uproar and the school district in federal court.

The trouble started when several teachers at Webster Elementary School in St. Augustine decided this little ditty, “In God We Still Trust” by the country music group Diamond Rio, should be sung by third graders in their annual assembly at the end of the year.

Parents of several children objected to the song, which calls for an end to separation of church and state through a Christian uprising.

Now there are those among us

Who want to push him out

And erase his name from everything

This country’s all about

From the schoolhouse to the courthouse

They’re silencing his word

Now it’s time for all believers

To make our voices heard

The parents were told their children didn’t have to sing this song. There’s just one little catch. If they chose to abstain they would be barred from participation in the entire program. Cue up the first lawsuit.
