Liberty Counsel Goes to Court Today Against the ACLU

Dec 2, 2009

This afternoon Liberty Counsel returns to federal court in Pensacola, Florida to combat the ACLU’s harassment of teachers, staff and students in the Santa Rosa County School District.

We are representing Christian Educators Association International in an attempt to overturn the court order that was the reason for contempt charges brought against school employees for a mealtime prayer with other adults. Liberty Counsel successfully defended Principal Frank Lay, Athletic Director Robert Freeman, and Michelle Winkler from contempt charges sought by the ACLU.

In a blatant attempt at intimidation, the ACLU recently sent a letter to the school district, complaining of 16 separate instances where it alleges the court order has been violated. The ACLU, sore from its losses, is stalking school employees seeking to punish them. The ACLU is even prying into their personal lives, asking whether they are organizing prayer meetings in their churches regarding the case.

The ACLU is investing enormous amounts of money and resources to terrorize school officials into silence and to make public schools religion-free zones. Pray that these forces of evil will be defeated so that the district employees and students will be set free from unconstitutional restrictions on their freedom.

Our lead trial counsel for this case is attorney Harry Mihet, who suffered persecution as a pastor's son growing up in communist Romania. He understands the risk of losing religious freedom in America.

Litigating against the deep-pocketed ACLU is costly and time-consuming. This case is expected to end tomorrow, but could also extend into Friday. Please pray that Liberty Counsel will have the resources to continue this push-back against the ACLU bullies.

We are honored to have you and other patriotic, God-fearing Americans join this enormous battle with fervent prayer and financial support. As always, to God be the glory.
