I love reading comments from all these people here who think they know the law better than the lawyers. Chattanooga must have the most law school grads per capita of any city in the nation. Anyone who would like to actually learn more about the state of first amendment law could check firstamendmentcenter.org The reality is a bit more complex than anyone has posted here, but for the cheerleaders, it comes down to the fact that, whether or not anyone "put them up to it," the banners appear to be government school-sponsored. Let the cheerleaders display their banners someplace other than at the school-sponsored football game with the school-sponsored team. We never had Christian-themed banners at my high school and none of us are the worse for it. I personally don't think good Christians should need banners or outward bragging displays like that (Matthew 6:6). And as a Christian, I find the trivialization of Scripture in this context to be offensive.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
