You say it's an undeniable violation...here's me denying your claim:
From the "Bill of Rights" (remember that?):
"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."
Separation of church and state exists for this purpose: TO PROTECT RELIGION FROM GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE, NOT VICE VERSA! Ironically, the opposite is occurring today because the free practice of religion is not protected from the government, rather the government attacks religious groups (Christians in 99.9% of cases).
The rest of your comment jimgreevy is ridiculous. It is the job of the school to educate, not manage kids ("1984" anyone?). Furthermore, your idea of any sort of message being approved by a government official (Obama?) smacks of totalitarianism and censorship. Churches post signs of verses outside their buildings for the public to see. They also have crosses on their buildings. All of these would be taken down in your universe. Go form your own country if you want to live in that sort of environment...
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
