Banners or Not



In the updated article found I found in the Texas Tribune written by Morgan Smith “Texas Cheerleaders Keep Banners, for Now”,www.texastribune.org it seems that the lawsuit king attorney general of Texas has yet struck again.  It seems that a small rural town in Texas named Kountze’s independent school district can’t understand the separation of church and state.  While common folk may not be bright enough to differentiate, I would believe our ATTORNEY GENERAL and Governor would be able to comprehend simple laws. 
Abbot stated that “We will not allow atheist groups from outside of the state to use menacing and misleading intimidation tactics to bully schools to bow down at the altar of secular beliefs.”  In a comment blog signed as samdavis, “This is another idiotic political expedient move by the stats”.  He went on to say, “These aren't atheists bringing the suit any more than the people in Kountze are really Christian. The actions are being done on school grounds, it's a violation. No one is telling Kountze they can't have signs in the stands; they just can't have cheerleaders and representatives of the school, promoting religion even if it is the predominant one.”  Personally, I agree with samdavis. It is irrelevant whether or not atheists are behind this or not.
  The simple fact of the matter is, why make laws if we are not going to uphold them.  This situation is quite simple. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure it out.  Your beliefs are personal so promote them in the appropriate arena, not a state or government funded one.
