So the majority rules when it comes to religion on a school football field. Sounds great if you are part of the majority. If not you stand the chance of being rejected by your peers socially. This could lead to bullying and discrimination against the person who isn't of that faith. Try being Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Wiccan, or even Atheist in a school where Bible scripture is endorsed de facto and you will see the true nature of these "kind god fearing Christians". Better yet what if a lesbian wants to join the squad? Do you really think that they will not discriminate? Ask yourself how many cheerleaders on that team aren't Christian, or better yet how would they treat others of another faith other than their own. Schools allow religion, all you have to do is pray silently to yourself all day non stop, and that doesn't infringe upon others of different faiths. Throwing up a banner such as that endorses a brand of religion de facto. Better yet what if a Wiccan verse was put on a banner, would these same Christians allow that freedom of speech? Also for all of you majority rules folks, look up this quote. "The tyranny of the majority against the minority." A little hint for you, it was a founding father.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
