My wife and I were driving home from visiting her family recently and passed by the community elementary school. The marquee out front read plainly "God Bless America." We had our digital camera handy and stopped to take a picture, which I've posted below, along with contact information for the school and the school board. I find it interesting that the school secularizes what is often called the Christmas holidays by calling them the winter holidays, and I commend the school for that, though such sensitivity is undercut by the blatant religious message I'm here calling the institution on.

If you know of a school that is committing a similar violation, snap a photo and send it to me, along with the school and school board contact information and Web sites (if applicable), and I'll post it here for the atheist world to see.
