I totally support the cheerleader and their historical actions. I understand that they even mixed secular motivational messages with their occasional scriptural encouragements. It's ironic that this great country founded on God and personal liberty has been assaulting the right of christians since 1963 (Engel vs. Vitale). Our founding fathers knew that our republic rested on the truths of scriptures and the need for Bible reading. I find it appaling that one person driving by the school is offended by scriptural references. They probably would be satisfied with the Koran, Vedic scriptures, or the Satanic Bible. I'm appalled at the apathy of the american church in light of the erosion of scriptural values. These cheerleaders have more courage than most of our churchgoers! I feel that the person offended by these scriptural references ought to volunteer to have their face on the next sign or just not go to the local football game. The reason I moved to Chattanooga area was because of the prevalence of God-fearing traditional people. I'd hate for this area to become the next secular Northern state. As Christians we are to be salt and light to this dying world. I find it encouraging that local high school students would refuse to give ground to the secularists and humanist amongst us. Stand firm and don't give ground in the public schools. Originally they were created to teach biblical literacy.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
