Tenn. Mother Outraged Over School Bus 'Pentagram'
A mother in Cordova, Tennessee is outraged after spotting the brake lights on her child's school bus that appear to resemble a pentagram, believed by some to represent evil.
The mother, who has chosen to remain anonymous, snapped a photo of the bus's back brake lights and sent it into local media stations, as well as posting it on social media. The school bus belongs to Durham School Services.
"Anyone who fears a God, if not God and Jesus Christ, should be outraged," the mother told the local WMC media outlet.
"If you can't put a cross on there, you can't put a pentagram on it," she continued, adding "Would we allow a swastika, for instance, to be on the back of the bus?"
There have been other instances of parents sounding the alarm when they feel objects at their school reference the devil. In 2012, parents of children attending Moss Bluff Elementary in Louisiana objected to a new identity system that would scan a child's palm during lunchtime to detect their identity.
The parents objected to the practice, suggesting that scanning the children's palms could somehow place the anti-Christ symbol of "666," also known as the "mark of the beast," on the child.
"As a Christian, I've read the Bible [...] you know, go to church and stuff," mother Mamie Sonnier told KPLC News back in 2012. "I know where it's going to end up coming to, the mark of the beast. I'm not going to let my kids have that."
