Quick story.....Jackson has a picture of Jesus hung in a stairway that has been there since 1947. It was given to the school by a student lead christian group that was formed right after WW2.

Picture was taken....sent to most powerful group getting this stuff out of the schools and sent threatening letter to Superintendent. Super will not take it down...news stations all over the place.

.....I take my son up to shoot-a-round at our open to the public fieldhouse and there was nowhere to park. There are an estimated 800 people at the meeting....I'd guess they average 25 people.

My thoughts....don't like, don't look. I was in that school as a 7th-12th grader and can't say I ever noticed it.

I guess around here others have a much stronger opinion.

Not that I really give a shit, it's a picture. Now if the school treated it as anything more than a picture or required students to be more respectful of it than other pictures, or to pray, etc, etc then I'd have an issue with it. But a picture, while technically I don't think it should be there it's fairly innocuous.

I would care if the "normalcy" of the process of educating my children were inturupted by the decision or refusal of having the picture visible.
