Jessica Ahlquist won in court, now faces backlash

In case you’ve had your head in the sand the last few days, Jessica Ahlquist, a 16 year old high school student at Cranston West High School in Rhode Island won her lawsuit to get the school’s illegal prayer banner removed. More details can be found at Friendly Atheist.

Of course the wonderful, loving Christians from her school and around the world have graciously responded with insults and threats of violence. It’s even gotten to the point that the police are involved.

If you want to show some support for this intelligent young woman who had the courage to do what’s right and is now facing quite the backlash you can follow her on twitter or donate money to the scholarship fund that Hemant Mehta and the Humanist Foundation have set up.
