First Liberty
Dear John,
As we eagerly anticipate tomorrow's episode of First Liberty
Live! with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and "Comeback
Coach" Joe Kennedy, I want to briefly share an important new
case update involving AG Paxton and school freedom.
I trust that you firmly believe, as I do, that schools should remain
free to make their own decisions on when to open their doors this fall
without the restrictive intervention of government officials.
Right now in one Texas county, that freedom is under attack.
First Liberty is representing two private Christian schools in Texas
who have had their reopening plans blocked by the unlawful order of a
county judge-even though the schools were careful to put
extensive health and safety measures in place.
Attorney General Paxton recently joined First Liberty in taking a
stand for the rights of both public and private schools, stating:
"There is no current order prohibiting any school from opening
in the Fall semester. The decision to open or close schools rightfully
remains in the hands of school system leaders, not county judges. The
judge's order is unlawful, and constitutes an attack on our
religious freedom."
We applaud AG Paxton for boldly supporting religious freedom in our
schools. And since he will be joined on First Liberty Live! tomorrow
by Coach Kennedy-a former school employee who was fired for
exercising that very same right to religious freedom-we expect
AG Paxton to have some key insights on why Coach Kennedy's case
is a crucial tipping point for religious liberty not only in our
schools, but in every corner of society.
Join us for expert analysis from the leading figures at the epicenter
of this fight tomorrow, August 27th on First Liberty Live!
