Bible Verse On Bench, In Memory Of Virginia Teen, Has To Be Removed

Via WACH:

CHARLOTTE Co., Va. (WSET) — A Bible verse on a memorial bench honoring a Charlotte County, Virgina teen who passed away last year now has to be taken off.

Colton Osborne died tragically last year during an ATV accident and the community came together to honor his memory with a bench at Randolph Henry High School.

Osborne is remembered for his love of baseball, that’s why the bench was placed next to the baseball field and reads “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me – Philippians 4:13.”

The Charlotte County School Board said the Bible verse is not legally compliant.

“The community of Charlotte County is a very sweet and loving community and they do frequently request to give memorials,” said Nancy Leonard, the school superintendent.

That’s why the school system worked with their attorney to come up with a policy on how to handle them.

“During that work, we found that the memorial bench that we currently have is not legally compliant because of the establishment clause because of the Bible verse,” Leonard continued.

Leonard said it was a community idea and effort to place the bench on school property, and they installed it last spring when the school held a memorial service during a baseball game and dedicated the bench in Osborne’s memory.

They’ve had no complaints about the Bible verse, but Leonard says they need to follow the law.

What a disgrace! So if it had a verse from the Koran do you think they would demand it be removed? Of course not, Satan's disciple's will not deny other Satan's disciple's. Being that leftists are demonically possessed with terminal stupidity, its no wonder that they are offended by Biblical verses and Scripture.
