GA School bans Bible Verses from Football Field

A north Georgia high school has banned signs that bear bible verses  during football games for fear they could be considered unconstitutional and provoke a potential lawsuit.  The move angered many in the community who believe that the preemptive ban was unnecessary.  Those who live around and/or attend Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High school argue that the community is a religious one and that the signs should remain a part of the football routines.

Demonstrations in support of the signs began immediately after the ruling,  gaining momentum since the ban was put into place a week ago.  The school administration has since conceded, designating a special area where the signs can go on display as a compromised.

There was no word on whether or not this solution appeased irate community members.
