Liberty Counsel has once again protected the right of free speech, and the National Park Service is again allowing distribution of Bibles on federal property.

Since 2011, Shirley Elliott has sold produce and homemade jellies at Thibodaux Farmer’s Market near Jean Lafitte National Historic Park in Louisiana. Additionally, Ms. Elliott has provided free Bibles on her table for anyone to take at will. On December 1, 2012, a park ranger told Ms. Elliott to take the Bibles off her table because “they were on federal property.”

“A decision to allow free distribution of the things mentioned above, while disallowing and requiring the removal of Bibles and other religious literature . . . would be improper and discriminatory,” Liberty Counsel attorney Richard Mast told the Superintendent of Jean Lafitte National History Park.

Two days later, the acting superintendent wrote, saying, “Please assure Ms. Elliott that she is welcome to offer free Bibles at her produce and homemade jellies table.”

We are thankful that the Park Service reversed its decision and protected Ms. Elliott’s First Amendment right to distribute literature. Thankfully, Ms. Elliott did not allow herself to be bullied by those who want to remove Christianity from the public square.

Please pray for Liberty Counsel as we continue to defend religious freedom.
