KOUNTZE, TX: School board hears comment on religious banner ban

KOUNTZE, Texas (AP) – A Southeast Texas school board listened to public comments on its decision to bar high school cheerleaders from displaying religious messages on banners at sporting events.

The Kountze (koonts) Independent School District board listened to comments for about 1½ hours Tuesday night. KFDM-TV of Beaumont (http://bit.ly/15OI9yY) reports 16 spoke for lifting the ban while only one spoke against repeal.

The board took no action and scheduled none but said it would take written comments for another 10 days.
