Federal Court Reverses Decision Barring Christian School from Praying Over Loudspeaker


(Worthy News) – A federal court of appeals reversed a rule enforced by the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) that prohibited two private Christian schools from saying a prayer over the loudspeakers before a football game at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.

The two schools, Cambridge Christian School and University Christian School, were set to play a championship game at the stadium in 2015. When the two faith-based schools asked if they could offer a prayer over the loudspeakers prior to the game, Roger Dearing, the executive director of the FHSAA, denied the request.

Subsequently, the two schools filed a lawsuit against the FHSAA in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in 2016. The school argued that the FHSAA was violating its First Amendment rights. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
