Texas doesn’t have enough money to pay teachers, but somehow we found the money to join in the lawsuit of trivializing Bible verses on the damn football field.

The cheerleaders at a Texas high school decided it would be oh so cool to write scriptures completely taken out of context on large sheets of paper for the football team to run through as they come into the stadium.  Because, you know, if you’re going out there to whip up on somebody, best you do it in the name of Jesus Christ.

The football team wants to enter the field by smashing through paper banners with scripture on them, like (seriously, these are the actual scriptures they use) “If God is for us, who can be against us, Romans 8:31.” Or, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens! Phil 4:13.”

We are going to pay taxpayer money to fight this all the way to the Supreme Court.  Which will cost a fortune because our Attorney General Greg Abbott couldn’t find the courthouse with a map, Tonto, and double geared neon stereo GPS system.  So, we’ll have to hire lawyers who actually listened in law school.  And those guys don’t come cheap.

But, trivializing Jesus is very important in Texas.  We’re willing to pay for it.

Thanks to Sam from Kyle for the heads up.
