I wish to address those who have the narrow minded opion that all Christians are bigots and facists.
I'm sure you have a basis for that belief, but have not completely analyzed the issue before forming it. The very thing you accuse ALL christians of is completely against the teaching of Christ.
He told us to love all men and treat all as our brothers. Yes, there are some virulent christian churches out there and christian religions have made some mistakes over the ages (my own included). That does not negate the teachings of Christ, it merely shows that christians are not perfect, only forgiven (after they admit they have gone astray).

I hope your first or last name is Christian and that handle doesn't represent your religous beliefs because you aren't acting very Christian. Quick question for you: What religion was Jesus?"
1st Amendment to the Constitution of the US - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Being a literalist, let me interpret some key phrases:
"make no law respecting an establishment of religion" - This means there will be no Government MANDATED religion. SIMPLE ENOUGH - everyone here should get that.
"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" - (This one will tork the liberal noses here) - If a school prohibits a religious banner then the Gvt is "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". The correct course of action is to allow the banner and allow those of any other religions if there is a desire to do so.
"or abridging the freedom of speech," - Applies to everyone, period. The cheerleaders were excercising their right as was the complaintent. Where the system broke was the banning of the banners.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
