LEBANON, Ore. (AP) — Lebanon High School administrators say they’ll do a better job of screening pep assembly plans after a skit about the Mormon religion prompted a complaint.

Principal Bo Yates said they should stay clear of religion and religious stereotypes.

The student who came up with the skit, senior Kaylie Probert, says she didn’t intend any offense. She says it was a lighthearted look at her own religion — Mormonism — with friends of the same faith. The skit at the Friday homecoming assembly involved students pretending to be missionaries.

The student who complained to the Albany Democrat-Herald said she was offended by what she perceived as religious bias.
