If kids are influenced into buying "junk food" by a logo at a baseball game, then are they not also influenced in their thinking by the onslaught of violence in video games?
Is it even the governments job to tell a private business that they cannot advertise at a school venue? If a company (say Coca-Cola) wants to donate athletic equipment, score boards, or just donate money to a school in exchange for an advertising logo (it's called sponsorship), should the government tell the school (who we know are desperate for money) that they can't accept those conditions? What if McDonald's wanted to donate musical instruments to the school?
Is a sign stating thank you to McDonald's for your generous donation that offensive?
For public schools, the government can do what they want. But for private schools, the government has no right to interfere.
