High School Victory: Students Celebrate Religious Expression Rights
A Colorado high school student can now decorate her parking space with Christian artwork after a win for religious freedom.
Sophia Shumaker, a senior at Rampart High School, wanted to express her faith through a design illustrating the parable of the lost sheep.
Initially, school officials rejected her request, citing guidelines that deemed religious imagery as inappropriate for student parking spaces.
Thanks to First Liberty Institute, the school reversed its ban, arguing that the original policy was unconstitutional.
students can express their faith through private speech, not government speech.
