Not surprisingly, within days of the assembly, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, Atlanta chapter, joined together to assault the school's decision to bring direct Protestant dogma into the public school system. Editorials rang out for protection of the First Amendment on the pages of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
