Indeed, it would be interesting to hear the Alliance Defense Fund's opinion on this. How about Anton LaVey's Church of Satan? Can they purchase signs advocating devil worship? How about a big, fat Buddha at the end of the left foul line? How about pictures of Sun Myung Moon on top of the dugouts?

Religions should not be treated differently under the law, and taxpayer-funded institutions, such as public schools, should not allow the promotion of one religion over another in any aspect of its operation.

I have my own faith, and I'm quite happy with it. But I certainly don't wish to push it on others -- let alone have a government institution do so.

What you propose IS treating religion differently under the law. The Church, having bought its space, has free speech rights, just like everyone else. The school's policy is blatantly unconstitutional.

Actually, the church of satan doesn't worship the devil, but self. (Of course, with some people, who can tell the difference.)

Then don't. But don't supress the free speech rights of others.
