FormerChattanoogaResident said "Does anyone actually understand why this practice is not allowed? Anyone here actually read the constitution and understand it?"
Apparently this person has not read the Constitution, because the Constitution does not in any way prohibit the cheerleaders from having these signs.
The Constitution guarantees the right of free speech, which the cheerleaders are exercising.
The Costitution guarantees the right of freedom of religion and prohibits the creation of a state run religion. When someone says a prayer in a public place this is not a state run religion but a expression of that persons freedom of religion. The same is true for these signs. It is the experession of the cheerleaders religion which is guaranteed through their right of free speech.
