I've always said that I want to live in Chattanooga one day, and this just convinces me that I'm right! The community must be a wonderful place if it raises up girls like these who aren't ashamed of their faith and want to use it to encourage others. They're not forcing anyone to chant the words, and people who don't want to read it don't even have to look that way. It's no different from fans holding up placards that say, "John 3:16," which you see at every type of sports event in the nation. One day, if the majority of the cheerleading squad happens to be muslim, then the crowd might see a verse from the Quran on a sign. And that would be have to be okay too. But right now, these girls' views represent the views of the majority of this community, and they have the right to express those views.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
