It doesn't matter if they where trying to promote something you think is positive. it doesn't matter if you agree with there message. it doesn't matter if EVERYONE there agreed with it and was happy with it.
It's illegal.
get it? illegal. a school can not promote religion. a school can not promote Christianity, buddhism, satanism, shamanism, heck it can't even support NON religion or atheism. it stimply must remain neutral on the subject of religion. it's not exactly hard to get. I can promise every last person at that school would be up in arms if these where satanic verses but because it's THERE religion they think it's ok.
no it's not.
how hard is it to get. mix religion with government (and a public school is government) and your religion becomes controlled by the state, and your state controls your religion.
these cheerleaders can present there views one on one to there fellow students (and if you support this message you should suggest this) and they can even hand out after school or even DURING school this message. but they can not do it as an official representation of the school, and thats exactly what they are acting as in this case.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
