A banner in Cranston High School West has a prayer banner up that's been there for almost 50 years. Pretty amazing when you realize it's constitutionally illegal, clearly violating the Establishment clause of the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
After a parent complained about it the ACLU got involved and a subcommittee meeting was held a couple days ago. A bunch of butthurt religious people were protesting with signs around their necks reading "Keep Original Banner". Clearly these people aren't a fan of the law. They get a government funded public school to endorse religion and then call it oppression when they're told it has to stop.
The meeting ended with 3 of the subcommittee members voting to keep the banner and proceed with a legal battle against the ACLU while 1 member voted to remove it because she didn't want the school to lose money going through an expensive court case. Geeze... does nobody care about American principles here?
these aren't a final decision. These members will give their recommendations to the school board, and it will be their decision. From the looks of it though, no matter what the school board decides both sides are prepared to take this case to court.
