See You at the Pole: Church Youth Gatherings Raise Legal Questions

Jan 25, 2012 10:10 PM EST

At public schools across the U.S., Christian youth groups gather to pray in a way that is legal but may test legal boundaries, reports Katherine Stewart from a school in Tennessee.

CLEVELAND, TENN.: At 7 a.m., as the sun crowns the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, 10 huddles of eight students each have gathered around the flagpole at the 1,200-student Cleveland High School (“Home of the Blue Raiders!â€

I agree. Much better than the morning Walmart  circle jerks pep rallies meetings in the aisles.  Don't they have a meeting room somewhere?

Wait until Muslims or Mormons stage the same type of event at a Tennessee school.
Watch the proverbial hit the fan.

By the sound of the title, I was thinking they were going to do some big shindig with Mr. Santa Claus at the north POLE.

Good place for them.

I figured a meeting at the chrome-plated pole in a dimly-lit establishment with mirrored ceilings certainly would be a nice touch and the kids would enjoy it as long as they are of legal age.

Pole dancing for the lord?

Wow... strange ritual if you look at it that way. It sounds almost.... pagan??????? Heaven forbid.
