Students at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia were not going to let issues of church and state deter them from making a statement Friday night.
For six years or so, cheerleaders at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe have painted elaborate paper banners, adorned with Bible verses, through which football players have dashed at the outset of games, writes AJC Political Insider Jim Galloway.
The Catoosa County school system cracked down on the Bible-versed banners after a parent complained and fear of a lawsuit that might make a separation of church and state claim.
The first Friday night after the ban, Bible verses and statements of faith were found everywhere but the run-through banner.
The day before the game, many students attended class wearing shirts with Bible verses and painted their cars with messages that read: 'Warriors for Christ'. During the game, several other messages were visible in the packed stadium.
