“It is unfortunate that [the school district] keeps spending
taxpayer money fighting against the speech rights of these cheerleaders,” said
Hiram Sasser, director of litigation for Liberty Institute. “I do not
understand why the school district cannot simply accept that it lost and move
on instead of continuing to fight against these cheerleaders who simply wanted
to encourage the players with uplifting messages.”

Texas school district appeals cheerleader case
After losing its case against their own high school cheerleaders,
the Kountze, Texas school district is appealing. On May 8, 2013, a
district court issued an order granting the Kountze cheerleaders permission to
display run-through banners with bible messages at sporting events. That order
ended a seven-month stretch of intense and heated litigation between the
cheerleaders and the school district that drew national attention. LibertyInstitute and David Starnes represent the cheerleaders and their parents.
