Well it wasn't a bad experience as much as it was funny to me, but in social studies we were looking at court cases and we had to pick sides. Turns out they taught religion in this one school so the dad filed a lawsuit because of it was a violation of separation of church and state. We had to raise hands and pick a side, so my social studies teacher asked everybody to raise their hand if they were for the school; everybody raised their hand except me (Seriously). So she said raise your hand if you are in favor of the dad (whatever his name is), I was the only one to raise my hand. So out of no where I hear this racist redneck named Connor (He gets in trouble every day at school, and once stabbed a teacher with a pencil because he didn't want to sit in his seat) yells out "He's atheist, his opinion doesn't count!" so the teacher looked at him and smiled and laughed then told him "Connor please stop it". But if I yelled out "He's christian, his opinion doesn't count!" she would throw my ass out of class and throw me in the principals office. It was funny to me, turned out the dad won the case and I was the only one that got it right

That bitch teacher had problems with me for no reason. Someone yelled out NIGGER in class and she automatically assumed it was me for no reason at all, her excuse was that it came from my side of the classroom. She also said I didn't turn my shit in and gave me a bad grade because 'She accidentally lost it'. I didn't know what her fucking problem was but she was a BITCH!

There were two, both of which my mother threatened legal action against the school in my defence.

The first was refusing to say the modified Pledge of Allegiance, but using the original version. I was told I would be expelled.

That has happened again at town meetings, where the town government has everyone say the Pledge before starting business. I have been told that I could be expelled from town meetings for refusing to participate correctly.

The original pledge goes:
I pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. (I omit the Bellamy salute that went with it - otherwise known as the Hitler salute, but use a military salute as current law allows veterans to do, which also irks my town council as I have exceptionally long hair.)

The second was the threat of withholding my diploma if I did not join the National Honour Society. As salutatorian, the school thought it scandalous that I refused to join. (My family did not have the money for it, nor was I interested in what was primarily a group of self-righteous wealthy snobs.) They were also upset that I was not going to college but instead going in the Navy, and withholding my diploma would have fouled that, so it was a serious threat. So was the second lawsuit.

National Honor Society? My mom has requests from them? Apparently if you have good grades throughout highschool they get your E-mail and spam the hell out of you. They do prayers before they get on with whatever they want to talk about.

I made a classmate cry during a religious discussion whilst on an overnight field trip to Sarasota. Good times.
