Decision comes after school district revamped policies
By Bob Unruh
The American Center for Law and Justice has declared a victory in its fight for a public school teacher who was told it was illegal for her to pray where students could see her – even in a parking lot.
The fight involves teacher Staci Barber and the Katy, Texas, Independent School District.
The ACLU said the judge hearing the case ruled “that since the school has updated its policy in response to our demand letter,” there now is no “language in the Employee Handbook that explicitly prohibits praying in the presence of students.”
The legal team reported, “It is a tremendous win for our client because she can now pray when she desires as this case continues to trial.”
