High School cheerleaders told no Bible verses on signs

UPDATE: Cheerleaders legal rights restored

Late last Friday (Sept. 21) afternoon, a judge granted a Temporary Restraining Order against Kountze Independent School District so that the cheerleaders can continue to encourage their football team with spirited banners and signs.

The cheerleaders were represented by Liberty Institute, a Christian-based, pro-family legal group.

Your email will be sent to Texas Association of School Boards Executive Director James Crow. A copy will be sent to Kountze Independent School District Superintendent Kevin Weldon.

	*  Feel free to edit this letter or send it just as it is:	Dear Mr. Crow: I am disappointed that the TASB has mistakenly advised Texas school administrators to violate the religious rights of students by banning free speech. Specifically, I urge you to correct the error in the Kountze ISD case and support the right of cheerleaders to display banners at football games. In addition, I hope you will issue a policy statement to all Texas schools that correctly outlines and supports the religious rights of students. Please let me know that you have addressed my concerns.
