Rocklin School in Question
Sponsored by:
Parents, students and administrators are defending a Rocklin school´s decision to keep a “God Bless
America´´ message on its message board despite a demand by the American Civil Liberties Union that it be removed. The district posted the message in the
wake of the Sept. 11 East Coast terrorist attacks. The A-C-L-U says the message outside Rocklin´s Breen Elementary School violates the constitutional
requirement of a separation between church and state. However, school district attorney Phillip Trujillo said the words are a patriotic, not a religious
expression.
