7th Circuit rules Illinois high school ‘cannot…stifle criticism of homosexuality’
ADF represents students in lawsuit sparked by ban on ‘Be Happy, Not Gay’ T-shirt
CHICAGO — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys won an important decision Tuesday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit against Indian Prairie School District on behalf of high school students prohibited from expressing their religious views about homosexual behavior on T-shirts. The court rejected Indian Prairie’s argument that school officials could justifiably put the First Amendment aside and censor T-shirts with the message “Be Happy, Not Gay” to prevent some students’ from having their feelings hurt.

Indian Prairie School District #204 Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link: http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/4640 ADF is a legal alliance of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations defending the right of people to freely live out their faith.
