PARKSBURG, W.Va. – School officials in Wood County, W. Va., have asked their lawyers to review a wrestling team’s T-shirts with a Bible verse on them.
Superintendent Pat Law says the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation complained about the Parkersburg South High School team’s T-shirts, which have the words, “I can do all things through Him that strengthens me” on the back.
Law says the group’s complaint alleges that the shirts violate the separation of church and state.
Law says school officials don’t want to infringe on anyone’s right to practice their religion. But he says courts repeatedly have said public institutions such as schools can’t promote a religion.
Attorney Bill Merriman represents one of the wrestlers and his parents. He says the wrestlers’ parents bought the T-shirts.

  1. Freedom from Religion foundation?
    So they have the right to take away our rights as Americans? The right of free speech? I don’t think so, and neither do 90% of the people polled via the news in the local area!!! Come on bullies… leave freedom – freedom and worry about what really matters. Much more needs to happen than worrying about this. Don’t ruin our country more than it already has been. Work on improvements that really matter not on ruining society by pressing your cesspool ideas.

  2. Mark 8:38
    Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him
    also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

    What right has any man to prevent these students from the Love of of their Creator and their Country?
