NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and U.S. Cong. Mike Johnson released a 15-page document as a valuable resource regarding the religious and free speech rights of students in public schools, according to Liberty Counsel.
The Louisiana Student Rights Review: Answers to Common Questions About Religious Freedom in Schools provides answers to 26 “frequently asked questions” regarding issues such as student-led prayer and when students can pray.
The document also references cited court cases and Child Evangelism Fellowship’s Good News Clubs. Liberty Counsel represents Child Evangelism Fellowship nationally and has never lost a case at any court of final resort regarding the Good News Clubs.
The released guidelines, which Cong. Johnson and Attorney General Landry plan on mailing to every school superintendent in Louisiana, also state that prayers at athletic events are permitted when school officials are not involved and student-led, student-initiated prayers must also be allowed at graduations.
