Note to school districts: If you are going to produce a field-side banner aiming at increasing sponsorship via the sales of other similar banners, make sure that your own product is spell checked before it goes to the printers, and after it comes out.
In particular, avoid the mistake made by the Red Lion Area School District -- a school district in Pennsylvania -- in the banner above, as first noted by Deadspin and originally posted to Twitter by Ryan Petzar. Go ahead and read the text on that sign twice. The spelling mistake is as embarrassing as it is innocuous.
Clearly, Red Lion officials were advocating that they were a purveyor of public education, not "pubic education." That was confirmed by Don Dimoff, the marketing and communications manager for the Red Lion School District in a conversation with Prep Rally on Thursday.

What am I missing here? Not so many years ago, they were teaching kids how to put condoms on bananas. Let's just say teachers have progressed to the point that kids expect to be participating in pubic events during school.

Uh, you might want to read the last line in the opening or, did I miss what we are “preping” for? That was another typo. "Prep Rally" was supposed to read "Perp Rally"...

I am sure some of the left wing groups like Planned Parenthood, LGBT Rights Groups, and Trojans will not have a problem placing banner ads next to “Pubic Education”
