Cheerleaders Can Write Bible Verses on Banners; TX Supreme Court OKs Verses Despite Complaint

The Texas Supreme Court has handed a group of Christian cheerleaders a victory in their lawsuit involving run-through banners that include Bible verses, the Christian Headlines website reports today (September 5, 2018).

The state high court refused to hear an appeal of a lower court ruling that had sided with the cheerleaders.

The dispute began in 2012 when school cheerleaders in Kountze, Texas began writing Bible verses on run-through banners as a way to inspire athletes.

The school district -- reacting to a complaint from the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) -- banned the banners, and the cheerleaders filed suit. The supreme court's decision puts an end to the dispute.
