‘Prayer is wrong and something you should be ashamed of’

WND.com reports: “The Florida High School Athletic Association is being accused of making out that prayer is ‘dangerous’ or ‘wrong’ with its ban on a pre-game prayer leading up to a high-school championship game between two Christian schools.

It is First Liberty Institute that, with other legal teams, is arguing in court on behalf of Cambridge Christian School.

And, it explains, ‘the constitutional right to pray over the loudspeaker at the beginning of the state championship football game between two Christian schools.’

‘The First Amendment protects the rights of students and teachers at a private Christian school to pray before a football game, especially when both teams are Christian and have a tradition of prayer before games,’ said Jeremy Dys, senior counsel at First Liberty Institute. ‘By banning the pre-game prayer over the loudspeaker, the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) sent a message to these students that prayer is wrong and something you should be ashamed of. That is dangerous and unconstitutional.’

The case is pending at a federal appeals court now…”
