Jesus equals f*ck equals satan
October 12, 2004
Although I believe in church-state separation as much as the next guy (because I think government involvement with religion is bad for religious freedom), I found this language very disturbing:
"Ms. Roberts explained that although Sharah would need to paint over the overt religious words and sectarian symbols on all three murals [that all students at Sharah's school could paint on], such as 'Jesus,' 'God,' and the crucifix, her other images and messages could remain. [ ] Notably, Sharah was not the only student whose mural was edited. Principal Harris directed the removal of profanity, gang symbols, and satanic images from students’ murals." Slip at 4-5 (emphasis added).
The language is taken from Bannon v. Palm Beach County and is located on pages 4-5 of this document.
