From the Desk of:
Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel
A new Liberty Counsel client, a high school student in
Fort Worth, Texas, was recently suspended for merely
stating his Christian view on homosexuality - while
his teacher had posted a photo of two men kissing in
the classroom, telling students that homosexuality is
becoming more prevalent in the world and that they
should just accept it!
This sort of double standard in public schools is
intolerable! Across the nation, impressionable minds
of school children are being FORCED into accepting
"alternative" lifestyles and being subjected to
anti-religious bigotry. While anyone with a Christian
worldview can be disciplined for merely expressing
their opinion, radical pro-homosexual groups are
freely advancing their agendas behind public schoolhouse
doors!
Liberty Counsel is aggressively defending the rights
of students, teachers, administrators, and others who
are literally being persecuted for their Christian
beliefs and viewpoints as pro-homosexual groups subvert
our Constitution! Please read my vitally important
message below - Mat.
Conservatives,
This Tuesday, high school freshman Dakota Ary was given in-
school suspension for stating in class that he believes
homosexuality is wrong because of his Christian faith.
Liberty Counsel is representing Dakota in this case,
demanding full vindication and a full retraction of
the suspension. If the school board does not comply,
a lawsuit will be filed for violation of Dakota's
First Amendment rights.
The teacher charged Dakota with "possible bullying" and
indicated, "It is wrong to make such a statement in public
school."
Meanwhile, Dakota's teacher had displayed a picture
of two men kissing on an in-class "World Wall" and
told the students that homosexuality is becoming
more prevalent in the world and that they should
just accept it.
++"Accept it"? Liberty Counsel will not tolerate this outrage!
We recently defended Teacher of the Year Jerry Buell in
central Florida after he was suspended for a comment he
made outside of class on his personal Facebook page,
expressing his disapproval of legalized homosexual marriage
in the state of New York.
After Liberty Counsel's vigorous intervention and a week-
long "investigation," the Lake County School Board fully
exonerated and reinstated Buell!
Buell's attorney, Senior Litigation Counsel Harry Mihet,
commented on the new case in Texas:
The double standard advocated by homosexual activists
is mindboggling. Jerry Buell was suspended for opposing
same-sex "marriage" outside of class. This teacher in
Texas is actually bullying his students into accepting
the homosexual lifestyle inside the class, and yet it
is his student, not him, that gets suspended. We will
vigorously defend and restore Dakota's constitutional
rights.
++Our cases in Florida and Texas are not just isolated incidents.
The tragic fact is that leftists are stealthily
indoctrinating our children and grandchildren. The pro-
homosexual agenda is being advanced in school systems all
across this country due to overt manipulation and threats
from powerful, well-funded radical groups like the ACLU,
Lambda Legal Defense Fund, the so-called Human Rights
Campaign, and other associations formed by activists to
bully our culture into accepting their perverse lifestyle
as "normal."
Tragically, many Americans feel at a loss as to how they can
confront these issues head on.
That's why I want to send you - free of charge - the
"Patriot's Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public
Schools" simply for reading and endorsing our powerful
Statement on Religious Freedom in Public Schools.
This booklet should be in every home and school in America!
It will revolutionize the way parents, guardians, and students
view their public school system, administrators, educators,
curriculum, extra-curricular clubs, activities, and fellow
students.

The "Patriot's Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public
Schools," covers the following topics - and more...
*What are students' rights in public schools?
*What are educators' rights in public schools?
*What about religious liberty at graduation and other
seasonal activities?
*What about religious groups meeting on school grounds?
*What are your rights as a parent or guardian of a student?
*What about public access to school buildings?
My legal team at Liberty Counsel has developed this valuable,
pocket-sized resource compiled from decades of experience
defending the rights of educators, students, administrators,
and community members from the attacks of radical activists
who want to squash freedom of religious expression in every
public setting, including schools.
The "Patriot's Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools"
is yours - free of charge - when you endorse Liberty Counsel's

++The fact is, our civil rights ARE NOT left at the schoolhouse
door!
This weekend, as a guest columnist in the Orlando Sentinel
newspaper, Senior Litigation Counsel Harry Mihet brilliantly
explains the principles he used to defend Mr. Buell and have
him reinstated in the classroom.
The article is written as a counterpoint to another
column written against Mr. Buell by a representative
from "Equality Florida," a pro-homosexual organization.
"Equality Florida" fought against Florida's Proposition 2,
which defined marriage as being between one man and one
woman in the state of Florida, and which passed by a
wide margin a few years ago.

++This is Liberty Counsel's call to action!
As expected, now that the new school year has started, Liberty
Counsel's caseload involving such issues is rapidly growing.
As Harry said in his public statement on the Texas
situation, and I now say for added emphasis, "We WILL
vigorously defend and restore Dakota's constitutional
rights!"
In fact, Liberty Counsel will vigorously defend Dakota, Jerry
Buell, and the civil rights of anyone else being trampled
on by leftists and anti-religious organizations like the
ACLU. We will not tolerate their bullying of school systems,
students, teachers, educators, and parents through unlawful
"consent decrees," intimidation, or any misrepresentation or
deception!
This is the disturbing pattern of things to come unless
concerned citizens take action! Knowing and understanding
our rights as Americans is a crucially important first
step.
I believe "The Patriot's Handbook of Religious Freedom in
Public Schools" belongs in every household and school in
America.
In fact, we want to distribute hundreds of thousands
of copies of this valuable resource to school systems,
educators, students, and citizens nationwide.
After you request your copy of the handbook, I hope you will
also prayerfully consider making a special gift to Liberty
Counsel as we diligently defend students like Dakota and
teachers like Jerry.
