Cambridge Christian School (CCS) against the Florida High School Athletic Association
Case Summary

Liberty Institute represents Cambridge Christian School (CCS) against the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). School officials asked the association for permission to offer a pre-kickoff prayer over the loud speaker of the Citrus Bowl before the state high school football championship game. The FHSAA forbade the school from praying. They argued that somehow this private prayer could be viewed as an endorsement of religion since the students would be praying on government property. Liberty Institute sent a demand letter to FHSAA on January 26, claiming that the prayer was constitutionally protected private religious speech and that FHSAA violated the religious liberty of the students and administrators of Cambridge Christian School.
Cheerleaders Banned From Painting Scripture Verses On Cheer Banners
In an effort to share positive and uplifting messages with their football players, middle school and high school cheerleaders in Kountze, Texas, made a team decision to paint Bible verses on run-through banners at games. Their inspirational signs were banned after the superintendent received a complaint letter from the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). In an 8-0 decision on January 29, the Texas Supreme Court decided the case in favor of the Kountze cheerleaders. The case now returns to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth District in Beaumont, Texas.
