Religious Schools in KY Get a Victory with Governor's New
Executive Order

[link removed]

As we kick off 2021, it appears that KY Governor Beshear is seeing the
light in regards to the constitutional right of religious schools to
practice their faith through religious education. In a victory for
religious freedom, the Governor's new executive order gives
faith-based schools the freedom to safely resume in-person classes
without discriminatory government interference.

TEAM CHAPLAIN CANCELED

FFRF's Attack on College Football Prayer Shows Why a Victory in
Coach Kennedy's Case is Essential

[link removed]

Recently, the FFRF attacked Boise State's team chaplain for
asking players to voluntarily gather together in prayer after a
hard-fought game against BYU. Attacks on religious freedom in sports
are nothing new, as First Liberty continues to fight on behalf of
Coach Kennedy, who was also canceled-i.e. fired-for
silently praying on the 50-yard line.
