Out of curiosity, what is the farthest you've ever ventured off a four-lane highway?

Now, are you going to answer my question or continue ducking it?
What question? I answered your question where you were confused as to the role of the Constitution.

I answered it. I have no idea what you are saying. If you are saying to your co-worker that you want to kill them , then no, your rights are not being restricted.

So no, you can not say whatever you wish.

To be honest, this whole religion in school is getting real old. I'm glad this crap never went on when I was in HS; there was enough drama going on without some religious mother****er trying to push crap all over. It isn't even real Christianity they're pushing in the media, it's gussied up old Roman paganism with a Christ happy face on it. You know, the religion where you bow before the emperor or else? The 'Christian' Right in America worships the Easter Bunny more than it follows the word of God but pretends to be devout and holy and...no just ****! If Jesus of Nazareth was alive today I guess he'd pray for all the religious crazies to be beamed to Antarctica and then would tell the more saner ones to get a life.

What about the rights of non-Christian citizens?

And lets not forget the time allowed for muslim prayer in many schools now across the nation. It seems God is out and allah is in .
Princeton is a private institution ... just like, say, Notre Dame University or Yeshiva University. They can do anything they like.

No one answered my question:

Why would a group of cheerleaders want to hoist a banner with a religious message on it?

Isn't cheer leading about generating enthusiastic noise to urge your sports team on to victory?

Do cheerleaders at professional sporting events do this sort of thing? Is it appropriate?

Ah, now that's classic. After using specific examples of using racial epithets, swearing or insulting a particular religion, you choose to ignore those and instead use your own example of me threatening to kill someone. Observe, readers, someone using thoroughly dishonest tactics to avoid answering a question. What a pathetic display this has been.

But thank you for acknowledging that I may not say whatever I wish. In that same way, cheerleaders for the school football team may be restricted in what they say, even when it pertains to religion.

Of course not. And since a Satanist wouldn't be permitted to get the mic and say their little prayer, why should a Christian get to? Same for the banner. Equal or no religious expression. For some reason, that doesn't strike many Christians here as a good idea
Good question,

sa·tan·ic *(s-tnk, s-) or sa·tan·i·cal (--kl)
adj.
1. Relating to or suggestive of Satan or evil.
2. Profoundly cruel or evil; fiendish.

Christianity is all about virtue, charity, fortitude, faith and so on.
