you do not seem to understand the settled law on this issue and i strongly recommend you educate…Read More yourself before you share any more uninformed opinions and mislead your readers as to the facts of this topic. Grrrr

Please be more specific, both as to who "you" is, and what ideas you consider…Read More "uninformed".

First of all, we're talking justabout religion because religion is specifically addressed in the…Read More Constitution. Discussions about condoms or other non-religious activities aren't subject to the same constitutional language. Public schools or other units of government don't necessarily have to be "neutral" on all issues. They just can't establish religion or preven the free exercise of religion.
Your idea of eliminating anything questionable misses the point (hopefully Amy was referring to you!). A school's cheerleaders, like the football team, the debate club, the band and choir, and so on, represent the school. Student clubs that are allowed to meet at the school don't necessarily represent the school. There can be a Christian club, an athiest club, a Black Student Association, whatever. If they're not doing anything dangerous or illegal, they should be allowed to say whatever they want.
Donald, any student can pray or practice their religion during any of their free time at a public school. Religious based groups can meet at a school. The issue is with the school's cheerleading squad putting Bible passages on their signs. That's establishment.

Great post! Government could learn a lesson or two from your dad's business experience:)
