What people aren't understanding here is the minority perspective. It's incredibly uncomfortable to have bible verses forced at me as a jewish individual. I respect the rights of others to practice privately, but at a public school this shouldn't be allowed. It isn't fair for a school to allow this type of display. It tells people that those who do not believe in Jesus are not welcome, they are an outsider. Believe it or not, this type of thing really hurts a person. It makes people feel alone. There will forever be a pit in my heart when i see people endorse this kind of behavior. It's selfish. Other people have different beliefs, and this isn't a christian nation. We don't have to go you say? Well if we wish to participate in one of America's great pastimes and support the team of our school, why should a person have to choose between feeling uncomfortable and alienated versus not being allowed to go, in effect chased out?
