It seems that this issue has died down some. I had one son graduate from WRHS and one attends now. I personally have no problem with the Demon mascot. If the preacher knew more of the history of how the mascot came about maybe he would not have picketed the school the first few days it started. Having his "Christian" followers yell at the kids as they walked to school telling them that they were worshiping the devil is quite sick in my opinion. I was thrilled when he got arrested. If he hates the mascot that much he should move out of that school zone. He just seems bored and needs some drama in his life.
And fyi...
Back in the day, Robins Air Force Base paid to have a high school built in Warner Robins (Georgia). When the school was completed, in 1946, the relevant civic authorities responded by naming the mascot after the 7th fighter squadron which brought its planes to the base for repair. The 7th fighter squadron, ‘The Screaming Demons’ made the school mascot choice an easy one. That’s why this Bible Belt town’s oldest high school's teams are known as the Warner Robins High School Demons.
