A principal of an elementary school in Franklin, N.C., no longer includes a reference to god in her official email signature.
The principal of East Franklin Elementary School included an “inspirational” quotation as part of her email signature, “If you can bring one moment of happiness into the life of a child, you are a coworker with God.”
In a Feb. 29 letter, FFRF Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert told the superintendent, “It is grossly inappropriate for a public school official…to include religious messages while using their public school email to conduct official business.”
On March 13, FFRF received confirmation that the principal “took out the reference to God in the quote she includes in her school emails.”
