Buncombe County School District, a group of schools in North Carolina, USA came in the spotlight last Friday after one of their middle schools reportedly asked a wrestling coach not to wear a t-shirt with a religious message.
In reaction, the entire North Buncombe Middle School wrestling team and a number of parents who were obviously quite upset at the development came to the wrestling meet last Wednesday dressed in t-shirts that screamed “Got Jesus?” on the front and a scriptural reference on the back.
The parents believe that Christians in the area have watched their liberties suppressed for way too long, and feel it’s about time to start a movement in support of their religious conviction.
“I think it’s just time that we let people know our voice and have our voice be heard in the right way, in love, in the spirit of truth,” said one of the parents.
The wrestlers raised the money themselves to get the shirts made, which they plan to continue wearing to the rest of their remaining meets as well as to school.
