An anonymous group wanted to donate $50,000 for a new turf field at the high school in Indiana’s Greenfield-Central Schools. But school board members balked at the group’s one request: to use the hashtag #BlessTheWorld to acknowledge their gift. School board members were afraid of using the word “bless.” “There was some apprehension about if that was a gray area. If that was a breach of the separation of church and state that is often quoted from the first amendment,” said Superintendent Harold Olin. The group withdrew its donation.
