It's just a declaration of...wait, no, this is a public school, and the cheerleading program is paid for by public US taxpayer dollars so this is advertising faith with taxpayer money.Religious freedom has nothing to do with taxpayer money. It has everything to do with imposing beliefs on other people. Once the money is passed to the students, they are given the right to do whatever they like, as long as it relates to cheerleading. If they thought a saying by Confucius would have inspired their players to play better, they could have put that up too. When our Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they had in mind that 1) no political leader should rule over the church; 2) no church authority should rule over the state; and 3) no single national religion should be established. In no way did they suggest we have freedom from religion.
