Texas District Court Judge Ends Battle with Final Order Protecting Cheerleaders’ Religious Liberty Rights

KOUNTZE, TX, May 8, 2013—Today, Hardin County District Court Judge Steven Thomas entered an order granting the Kountze Cheerleaders a victory in the seven-month-long case over the permissibility of displaying run-through banners with Bible messages at Kountze ISD sporting events.

The Court’s order declares:


  • “The Kountze cheerleaders’ banners that included religious messages and were displayed during the 2012 football season were constitutionally permissible.”

  • “Neither the Establishment Clause nor any other law prohibits the cheerleaders from using religious-themed banners at school sporting events.  Neither the Establishment Clause nor any other law requires Kountze I.S.D. to prohibit the inclusion of religious-themed banners at school sporting events.”

    Yet another reason I am glad to be a resident of Hardin County Tx. I'm about 8 miles south of Kountze and believe me, the support poured out from all over for these kids. Leave it to a non-believer to try and fuck it up for everybody else... Good on you Judge!

      Pleasantly surprised here, as I figured another PC judge was hearing it.
