High School Censors Christian Band
From Toledoblade via Drudge:
"We are just shutting the whole thing down," Rossford Superintendent Luci Gernot said. "There is some controversy, and I'd rather err on this side."

Interestingly, it was a 1936 Rossford High School graduate, atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair, then known as Madalyn Mays, whose lawsuit against Baltimore public schools led to the 1963 Supreme Court ruling outlawing prayer in schools.
Unfortunately, censorship of Christian expression by government schools has become common while humanists and atheists are free to publicly express convey their beliefs and proselytize others from the classroom pulpit. What many seem to miss who agree with the censorship of Christians and religion in general is that humanism is not neutral, tolerant or objective and is diametrically opposed to theism and in particular Christianity. This faith-based belief system is a religion and is protected and promoted to the detriment of other belief systems. Do we have a state religion? Yes, today more than ever.
