Increased Proselytizing by City of Las Cruces

Note photos on the 12/10/10 posting. The City of Las Cruces is increasing its illegal activities, nothing new here, and continuing the installation of the proselytizing Latin crosses signage on lamp posts about the city.

It's not enough to place the signs where traffic signs-only were restricted, but the new idea now is to install them at an IN-YOUR-FACE eye-level position to force an attentive driver, and passengers, to look at the City's Latin crosses symbol. See lamp post at east Wal-Mart entrance/exit on Triviz Drive and across Telshor Drive from Olive Garden. See the signs at Camino Real Middle School and Alameda Elementary School (2).

You will also find these various in-your-face signs in front of businesses who support the City's proselytizing. Locations: Olive Gardens, Buchanan Insurance, Stull Real Estate, Citizens Bank, Kiwanis Club, etc..

For those of you that don't understand what is going on with the City's symbols this is for you:

Look at the City's illegally adopted symbol. You will see three stacked Latin crosses. You will also see 15 points surrounding the crosses. Now, think Gospel of John 3:15 (three crosses- Verse 15) - "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." If you don't see it, you are in denial, or perhaps afraid to see it. Comically, yet pathetic, Federal magistrate Judge Lourdes Martinez said, "I can't see that third cross....."

Naming the New High School in Las Cruces

CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL:

I propose the name for the following reasons:

1. Next year, 2012, is the Centennial Year for the state of New Mexico.

2. Celebrating a ‘Centennial High School’ not only represents the past of our history, but it also represents the hope of our future – our children.

3. Promoting a ‘Centennial High School’ is an inclusive, welcoming non-sectarian name for all the various, past and present and future cultures, races, religions, and representatives of nations that have built our community and state.

4. ‘Centennial High School’ would be a means to include the often ignored Las Cruces and surrounding area in the state-wide celebration of statehood.

5. The Sun-News has a list of suggested names that are all quaint and well-meaning in their fashion, but any one of those names on such an edifice would not do justice to the purpose of pride the children would feel while attending such a school with an inclusive name.

6. Additionally, some of the combinations of initials of the proposed names can be used to accent the oftentimes vulgarities of youth.
