American Atheists Viewpoint

Sunday September 18, 2016 The show begins with discussion of a Collier County, Florida High School principal who is threatening ejection of students from school activities who sit or kneel during the national anthem or pledge of allegiance citing "disruptive behaviour". The show then transitions to a primer on Mother Theresa, and why the Catholic Church's canonization of her is problematic. American Atheists is a national 501(c)(3) organization that defends civil rights for atheists, freethinkers, and other nonbelievers; works for the total separation of religion and government; and addresses issues of First Amendment public policy.  Follow our updates on Twitter and Facebook, and download this podcast in iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, your computer, or just by using your favorite podcast listening app. LINKS: Collier County principal: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/florida-forces-students-to-stand-during-national-anthem_us_57dc4832e4b0071a6e0765b3?section=& Salt Lake Tribune Op-ed on Mothe
