An atheist student who successfully pushed to remove a religious banner from her Rhode Island high school as a separation of church and state says she does plan to graduate and not transfer despite increasing threats.
(...)
On January 11, U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Lagueux ruled that the presence of the 49-year-old banner violates the separation of church and state according to the Constitution's First Amendment while displaying a passage written by a former student titled: school prayer.
Others argued back that it's a historical piece.
One woman posted her reaction to Miss Ahlquist's efforts over Twitter writing: 'I hope there's lots of banners in Hell when you're rotting in there you atheist f***.' (How very christian...)
Another sent her a message saying: 'How does it feel to be the most hated person in RI? You're a puke and a disgrace to the human race.'
