Teacher Told to Not Pray Now in Court
After Staci Barber, a math teacher at Cardiff Junior High in Katy, Texas, was told she couldn’t pray anywhere on campus where students might see her, we filed suit in March 2024. We won a significant victory when District Judge Alfred H. Bennett denied the principal’s motion to dismiss, finding that the prohibition violated clearly established First Amendment rights under the Supreme Court’s Kennedy v. Bremerton School District decision. Now Principal Bryan Scott Rounds has appealed, and the Fifth Circuit will decide whether school officials can categorically ban teachers from visible religious expression simply because students might observe it.
