The term “just say no” is becoming more and more relevant.

Sooner or later, we’re going to have to either confront these folks verbally....or physically.

Don’t doubt me.

We live in the era of the tyranny of the stupid or venal “lone parent”.

One misguided parent who cannot, or will not, understand the clearly written words in the first ammendment of the Bill of Rights, rules over the school board, the wishes of the community and common sense.

The school board backed down too quickly to the wishes of one person. What about the wishes of the football team, the student body, the rest of the community?

One parent is enough to make all this happen

...is that a good thing or a bad thing?

so this one parent is a judge for everyone? fight for it and make them somehow prove it.

they don’t bend over backwards when religious folks complain about immorality and junk science being taught in the govt schools.

best thing in the world would be for government to get out of every area of life that it both competes and regulates the private sector. what if microsoft or apple both competed in the markets and also regulated the market they compete in? after all isn’t this one of many problems with obamacare? and government healthcare period?

You must make a conscious choice to be offended.

Since we're piling on, I guess we may as well mention the "balanced" mascot of Wake Forest University: the 'Demon Deacon'... whatever that is.

The Constitution allows respectful expression of religious beliefs. It does not allow you to stifle the beliefs of others. It does not protect you from being "offended."

Tell the district and ACLU to stick it up their arse.

Then do the same when the pretend judge weighs in.

The cross in question is a symbol intended to strike fear. It is Roman in origin and represents the crucifixion coming for the opposing team.

Plus, the King’s crown is often topped by a cross.

Jefferson was a southern boy. That meant the church of England. He had multiple views on every subject. He’s probably the worst person to quote about anything.
