Liberty Counsel Opens Doors for Pastor During School Career Day

Liberty Counsel applauds the Larose Lower Elementary School for reversing its unconstitutional ban and permitting Pastor Gary Hanberry to participate in the school's Career Day activities. He intended to make a presentation on the volunteer work that he does at the Compel-Crosby Home, an orphanage located in Kenya. Hanberry, grandfather of one of the students, was originally banned from participation based solely on the fact that he is the pastor of a religious organization. The School claimed that Hanberrry could make his presentation only if every religion was invited to make presentations at Career Day.

The Establishment Clause in no way requires the District to eliminate any and all messages with religious overtones or subject matter, even if the district was completely responsible for selecting the material. In fact, for the school to ban Hanberry's presentation solely because it is religious would have been a violation of his rights of religious expression protected in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. A public school cannot censor speakers solely because of their Christian faith.
