Why Is an Atheist High School Student Getting Vicious Death Threats?
Why Is an Atheist High School Student Getting Vicious Death Threats?
If you take away just two things from the story about atheist high school student Jessica Ahlquist, and the court case she won last week to have a prayer banner taken out of her public school, let it be these:
- The ruling in this case was entirely unsurprising. It is 100 percent in line with unambiguous legal precedent, established and re-established over many decades, exemplifying a basic principle of constitutional law.
- As a result of this lawsuit, Jessica Ahlquist is now being bullied, ostracized and threatened with violence in her community. She has been called “evil” in public by her state representative, and is being targeted with multiple threats of violence, rape and death.
Which leads one to wonder: What the hell is going on here?
I attended a Christian elementary school in Cranston, Rhode Island. It was a quite unpleasant time.
I am consistently amazed at the things people in this country do and say to atheists. Ugh. UGH.
