The Illinois High School Association is being challenged on a policy that bans Christian schools from offering a prayer or any religious message over their public address systems when they host association events on their own property.
"It is blatantly unconstitutional for public school officials to come into private schools and enforce a policy prohibiting them from expressing what's central to their religious beliefs," said David Cortman, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, or ADF.
The ADF wrote this week to association chief Marty Hickman after several private schools complained about the new restrictions. WND left a message with Hickman seeking comment, but the call was not returned today.

And so it does.

This isn’t a “beginning”. This is “end game”.
It would be difficult to formulate a civil, let alone a Christian response to such an over reach!
“Our “PRIVATE” school will continue to broadcast ANY message we wish, as your authority DOES NOT apply to us and is clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL!”
How and why any Christian would vote for a Democrat is beyond me. And staying home is a vote for the Democrat, as well.
They know full well it’s blatantly unconstitutional. But there approach now days is to go ahead and do it and let the damaged party spend years and years and hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, to correct it. Even if they lose in the long run they have prevailed for the time it takes a castrated judicial system to call their hand. And, as an added benefit they have practically bankrupted the aggrieved party. Not bad for a day’s work.
Until we find some way to institute a form of ‘loser pays’ we will have to be content with seeing our freedoms taken away one by one. It’s just too damned easy right now to file a frivolous law suit or pass a frivolous law and depend on the patience or the billfold of the other side to fail at a critical point along the way.
Sigh.
This is how Russia started... pretty soon Christmas will be outlawed.
The school should ignore it.
“How and why any Christian would vote for a Democrat is beyond me. And staying home is a vote for the Democrat, as well.”
They either believe in or hide behind the “compassion” story used by liberals as they employ that method to grow and maintain an oppressed and reliant class.
If state education hacks are trying to take away the right of Christians on their own property, what does IL do for Muslim students who claim their right to pray on public school grounds? Inquiring minds want to know...
The time of troubles.
These guys are asking for a war.
They WANT it. They must. They are hoping the result will be an end to Christianity.
Ya think?
Its been tried, it only served to spread the word.
Time for civil disobedience.
It is better to obey God than man.
“It is better to obey God than man.”
Absolutely right.
Right, but if you keep poking at it, eventually the Constitution is just another pincushion.
Chicago disease (corruption) has spread to Springfield (IL).
Unfortunately, the Chicago Mafia is running the entire country right now
More crookedness from the crooks in Illinois.
