The point here is the line “if the kids went to a public school…”. If they did go to a public school, as an individual in that school (and sport) are they allowed to paint the crosses.

It’s a moot point… just like ‘eye-black’ messages. We need a policy to address. Relax. I was just saying that the ACLU files some crazy lawsuits.

Yea looks like you have to go all the way back to July.

This isn’t about being PC it’s about upholding the Constitution. Schools/states aren’t allowed to endorse a religion and the ACLU fights that. They have no issues with individuals showing their faith and in fact have defended people of all faiths, including Christians. Hell, they’ve defended the crazy Christian group from the Westboro Baptist church.

You live in SoCal… thanks for affirming my own hunches.

The ACLU hasn’t affirmatively defended Christianity in years. All I was saying is that the movement of ‘political correctness’ has the majority of people walking on eggshells. It’s not a persecution complex, it is life. The only difference is that I don’t need to put a label on something to pass the blame/guilt off my own shoulders.

I’ll simply refer you to my second post in this discussion. Not all Christ-Followers fit the stereotype you have.

If these girls’ jerseys did not say Jesuit on them, you probably wouldn’t give it a second thought.

Move on, nothing to see here…

Like RJ said, “I’m sure MissouriHawk would have the same stance if Muslim students were displaying their faith by scrawling Allahu Akbar on their foreheads.”

Obviously there would be some “Americans” against the idea of having a big crescent moon and star representing Islam on their face.

Awkward……

1. Some of the most wholesome, family-friendly, even Christ-affirming TV programming in the history of network television (Touched by an Angel, Walker-
Texas Ranger, et al) garnered its best ratings during Bill Clinton’s administration, on a network called…CBS.

2. In what is quite easily the most hostile political environment since at least the ’70s, the anti-abortion movement (a Christian movement at its very heart and soul) managed to get a pro-abortion Speaker of the House to toss abortion funding aside in order to get a flaming-bag-of-dog-feces known as Health Care Reform through the House.

Make of this what you will, but the conclusion should be obvious.

And it’s been said before - 17’s and square roots are the same ’cause smart people only do ‘em in their heads……
