Board enraged by any mention of 'God'

clipped from www.wnd.com Members of a California school board, unhappy that they were told by a federal court not to censor a teacher's patriotic classroom banners that mention "God," have voted to appeal the ruling. WND reported the math teacher had had banners hanging in his classroom at Westview High School in San Diego, Calif., for more than 17 years.
