If you don’t know, Jessica Ahlquist is a 16 year old girl who wanted a school prayer mural removed as it was unconstitutional. A judge ruled in her favour. You should see the disgusting abuse she’s getting. From every angle; Twitter, Facebook, comments sections of any site running articles on the story. Her home address is being posted around by people hoping to exact some sort of revenge. She has already had to leave the school.

Here’s just an example of the things people are saying to her. Feel the Christian love, eh?

I joined twitter yesterday, and it took me like 5 minutes to realize that it’s a cesspool of ignorance and stupidity.

This what the future of our country sounds like America.  These are the automatons that seem independent, yet are run on the hatred programmed by their parents, and will grow up to continue the cycle of ignorance and intolerance.  I’m pretty sure their parents are good God fearing Christians too.  These are the people who don’t have the strength to stand up publicly like Jessica did and fight for their rights.  Social media has made everyone tough.  I’d love to know why none of them were doing anything in real life to stop her if they felt so strongly.  These are the moments that I’m glad I have not bought a child into this ugly hate-filled world.  Wow, just unbelievably disgusting. ~ Kim

I love how they’re all pissed at her for complaining about something that is against the law under the constitution.

Some of the statements about this by the staff at the school are even ridiculous, a school committee member, Michael Traficante, was quoted as saying, “What’s ironic is this banner has to be removed because one individual after 50 years believed it to be offensive because of her disbelief in any religion,” 

It doesn’t fucking matter how long it was there, it’s unconstitutional, and she had every right to complain.

This is bullying because someone upset the status quo and these people are a fine example as to why I have such a problem with organized religion.
