The bold is a loophole; I'm sure many Satanists would agree. So again, "Satan, keep us safe." Welcome or no?
Nice try- from original

That would be something designated by the school which the courts likely wouldn't allow.
(Chuckling)
Yes, indeed it would be. Kind of like public school students being precluded from testifying at school events and the courts eventually upholding the right of schools to regulate what students may say while they are at school or at school events.
If you don't have the sense to say it, I will: It's time for you to call it a night.
I see no harm in it. Their community...their business. It ain't gonna help them on the field.
The last place in the world we need this kind of nonsense to be is in our public schools. If you want that nonsense, go to religious schools. We're not talking about studying a religion, we're talking about juveniles testifying to a particular religion. It has no more place in public schools or at public school events than someone standing up to testify to the virtues of Apple computers before the big game. Save it for your own time and stop wasting everyone else's with this garbage.
Cheerleaders in a Texas town will be allowed to include Bible and religious messages on signs at sporting events after receiving a temporary restraining order against a high school’s ban.
Why would they even want Biblical passages anyway?- I thought cheerleaders were a form of sexy dancer , and that must be against the message of Christianity.
The Christian Cheerleaders should be given 'special consideration because the belief has nothing to do with anything but perseverance and virtue. If this is the source of their spirited enthusiasm, denying it place's a restriction on their 'freedom to express the underlining momentum allowing for expression, in the fullness of their 'duty for the team.
The belief is non aggressive in its very nature, and holds in occasion of un-provoked attack to not only turn the other cheek, but to put back and restore any damage to the attacker, the story with put the chopped off ear back on.
So it sounds like the law in this whole argument, is simply going one step at a time...to get the howling society calmed down with some of the normal realities of life, no doubt about it.
If you can find a situation where one is allowed and not the other I will be right there condemning that.
I would hope so. But of course, there is a much simpler solution to all this: Let NO religion take the high ground EVER. Let them all be represented on the sidelines, apart from the school function itself!

The standard we're forced to uphold due to the U.S. Constitution should not be our highest aspiration, I submit.

good luck with that
No luck needed. Someone earlier said they let a Muslim say a prayer for their town's football game (and their religion says to kill infidels, as I'm sure you've heard). So what's the difference, really? So long as the prayer is "Satan, keep us safe".
Really, if you wanted to REALLY hold true to the Constitution, expression of your religious beliefs should mean exactly that. Muslims should be able to say "Keep us safe, except for the infidels" and Satanists should be able to say "Let us enjoy our sins" or what have you. THAT won't happen because people WILL be offended, and then the Christians would no longer be able to claim they're being denied their freedom of speech because someone else was offended by it. Hmmmm.
Or we could make football about football. Which sounds crazier to you?

NO religion should have "special consideration".
Why can't the Buddhists have "special consideration"? Buddhists are more peaceful than christians. Buddhists are more virtuous than christians.
Who gets to decide which religions are deserving of "special consideration"?
