Manx,
When you read the complaint, which includes a statement of facts from the plaintiff, it's pretty apparent there is more to the story.
For example, by plaintiff's own admission of fact, the principle suggested alternative handouts that also mentioned god in place of the ones he desired to use.
I interpret that to mean her objection wasn't to the specific reference, but something else we aren't yet privvy to because we don't have the response.
He also alleged that the principle confronted him in the beginning of the school year about concerns over him proseletyzing students.
He admits that parents complained about his supplemental handouts.
His final statement of fact is odd, to say the least: "This nation is founded on Judeo-Christian heritage."
Whether that is true or not is not my point, but rather it indicates where he is operating. Namely, it isn't relevant to his complaint, yet he still feels compelled to assert it as the final word of his complaint.
