High school Quote by Seth Meyers
“A high school in Georgia has banned its cheerleaders from displaying football banners with biblical verses on them as school-sponsored groups cannot promote a particular religious view. I believe the quote in question refers to Jesus, who once said of the Pharasees, 'push 'em back, push 'em back, waaaay back.”
