Sadly, that only turns it into the Petrine Cross.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

A school in Missouri?  Not even a good idea.  I'm in Missouri, I know . . . 

Instead of getting them to ban crosses, maybe find a way to start discussions on removing the ban on Satanic symbols.
Or get brave and wear an atheist t-shirt.  I like the "atheist atom" ones.   Cafe press has some:

Or start a Pastafarian club!  

Seriously, banning crosses would just make a lot of people mad.  You need some humor and open discussion.  Good luck!

Why? What purpose could it possibly serve except as a fleeting sense of satisfaction after a win over 'ZE ENEMY'? What would this little game of tit-for-tat achieve that a sustained, consternated effort to promote understanding between all peoples would not?

For someone who wears 'Logical Outlook' proudly on their Religious Views, it strikes me as a very emotional reaction to a situation. Not trying to be insulting, just asking you to think it through.

The cross did come into general usage later than modern jesus shits would have us believe.

Quote:During the first two centuries of Christianity, the cross may have been rare in Christian iconography, as it depicts a purposely painful and gruesome method of public execution and Christians were reluctant to use it.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_cross#cite_note-McGrath321-1][/url]

As far as anyone named "peter" being crucified upside down that seems to come from a discredited piece of shit called Acts of Peter which was so fucked up that it did not make the cut to get into the fucking bible.  Not enough votes on the committee, I guess.

That's what a classmate of mine did with the picture of our president back in the early 80ies. Got him suspended.

Don't try to get it banned, that will cause to much personal turmoil for you. Especially in MO.

Just fuck with them. Find someone with a decent sewing machine that can embroider patterns. Or do it yourself with cheep t-shirts and a Sharpie. Then start wearing a different religious symbol to school every day. There is a whole shit load to choose from. I'd stay away from the Hindu/Janis ones that are swatstickers (swastika, just like the way a past room mate pronounced it). Knowing the mentality in MO they won't get it.
