Pastor Ends "Demon" Mascot Protests

((HT: 13WMAZ-TV Macon, GA))

Pastor Donald Crosby says his group is no longer going to protest the Warner Robins High School "Demon" mascot.

"Those who needed the message, got the message," said Crosby.

Crosby and about 50 others protested outside the high school Friday morning. They stood within the parameters set by the city's protesting ordinance, and went at it for about 30 minutes.

Some students stopped for a moment to take pictures but most continued to walk to class.

One student yelled, "It's just a mascot"

Crosby was arrested earlier in the week for disorderly conduct after having ((and using)) a bullhorn and protesting without a permit...

Priest Wants Demon Mascot Exorcised From School

((HT: WMAZ-TV Macon))

Pastor Donald Crosby moved to the Warner Robins ((GA)) High School district a year ago. He is in charge of the Kingdom Builders Church of Jesus Christ in the middle Georgia town.

When he found out his ninth-grader was set to become a "Demon," Crosby has gone on his own crusade to change the mascot name and the 60-years of tradition that goes with it.

He's gathering names for a petition and is even going as far as trying to transfer his son from Warner Robins High to another school in the county. His choices would be either the Eagles, the Warhawks, or the Bears. But that's if the school board allows the transfer on some-kind of religious grounds.

And the HQ is, admittedly, stretching here...
