Liberty Counsel has filed a comprehensive lawsuit against the Santa Rosa County School District and its Superintendent, Timothy S. Wyrosdick, for their persistent and widespread violations of First Amendment rights. Liberty Counsel Senior Litigation Attorney, Harry Mihet, will speak on the steps of the federal courthouse in Pensacola, Florida at a rally and press conference today at 5:00pm CT.

As a result of a legal agreement, students can no longer say “God Bless,” teachers must hide in closets to pray, parents cannot communicate frankly with teachers, volunteers cannot answer any questions regarding religion, Christian groups cannot rent school facilities for private religious functions benefiting students, and pastors are dictated how they can and cannot seat their audiences at private, religious baccalaureate services held inside their own houses of worship. This is a direct insult to the First Amendment and Liberty Counsel intends to change this picture.

Initially, Liberty Counsel offered free consultation to the school district, but the school district decided instead to shake hands with the ACLU, pay the ACLU $200,000 in legal fees, and voluntarily enter into the Consent Decree that obliterates religious freedom and makes a mockery of the First Amendment. Three school officials have since faced civil and criminal contempt charges at the hands of the ACLU and the school district.
