Rails - Oct 2014 - serving html pages with <script> tags pointing at my .js files

Im building a web app based on a web design consisting of .html and .js files
created by our web designer.

The html files that I received have <script> tags pointing at the .js
files, which should all be for layout/design stuff.

When I try to serve these files through rails, I get CSRF errors.

Looking at the docs for the "protect_from_forgery" method
  
(http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/RequestForgeryProtection.html
)
I get the impression that the only way to get this to work (serve the .js files
from rails) is to turn off the CSRF protection for these javascript files.
Am I reading that correctly?

Also, I'm willing to believe that I'm generally "Doing It
Wrong" here -- I started a thread here yesterday looking for general
information on how to serve files provided by our web designer, while not
knowing javascript or CSS.
