David Bernknopf - a former CNN producer and media consultant whose son and daughter attend nearby A.L. Burruss Elementary - said he recently noticed the bench and asked Marietta City Schools officials to look into the legality of having a religious message displayed at a public school....

Asked about the issue on Tuesday, Marietta school board members said they were unaware that the bench with its "Jesus Loves You!" message even existed at the school until Bernknopf questioned it.

This part I did think was pretty funny. The bench is out in front of the school and the school board members never noticed it before??

Pretty soon, atheists will say churches have to be walled as they find them offensive.

The polically correct are creating a religious underground.

No surprise here that a former producer for CNN would be offended by the notion that "Jesus loves you." How inoffensive is that statement? And since the sign is paid for by private funds, there's a question here of whether individuals' freedom to speak violates some doofus's "freedom not to be offended."

School board members do not "visit" buildings, as all of their meetings, at least for our schools, are held at the admin offices. And, board members are unpaid and elected positions, mostly held by local business owners.
