The cheerleaders at Kountze High School in Kountze, Texas, (about 90 miles northeast of Houston) had been using banners with Bible verses to motivate the football team during games. School administrators, however, received an anonymous complaint and rightly ordered the practice stopped.
Examples of signs included: “But thanks be to God, which gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ,” “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” and “If God be for us who can be against us?”
Now some of the squad members and their parents are gearing up for a legal fight with talk of suing the school district for religious discrimination. The cheerleaders say making the banners was their personal choice and that the signs were made with supplies purchased by students and not the school.
