Jonathan Saenz, president and attorney for Texas Values, which supported the law in a friend of the court brief, called the ruling “one of the most important religious liberty victories for Texas in our glorious history.” “Today’s ruling confirms that our state can honor the moral heritage that undergirds our legal system without violating the First Amendment,” Saenz said. “This decision makes clear that acknowledging the historical foundations of our laws is not only permissible—it is fully consistent with the Constitution.”

McCord verified the veracity of the journalist’s findings. When asked by the journalist to confirm whether the district was “keeping parents in the dark,” McCord acknowledged that the district was not being transparent with parents about its “gender support” policy, a press release from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) states.

For just over a week beginning this Sunday (April 19), some 500 Christian leaders, government officials and celebrities will embark on a first-ever public endeavor: They will take their turns reading the Bible—from cover to cover, 12 hours each day. The first “America Reads the Bible” week will be broadcast and streamed from the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. “When the Bible is read, people are changed."

“Parents should always know that school is a safe place for their children to learn,” Bird said, “not be concerned they are being indoctrinated with inappropriate sexual materials and philosophies. I am grateful that our law protecting children was upheld today.”   

A 2025 law that banned non-official flags did not include a penalty for violations. In response, Boise had passed a loophole resolution to make the LGBTQ flag an official flag. Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel’s founder and chairman, explained that the bill, which passed with a House vote of 58-11 and a Senate vote of 26-8, closed that loophole.  “Idaho’s law strictly defines ‘official’ government expression via flags and closes a loophole whereby municipalities could embrace a contentious ideology as government expression,” Staver said.

“Colorado continues to place itself on the wrong side of the law by forcing Coloradans to speak against their conscience,” said Frampton. “As the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed this week when it ruled against another Colorado law in Chiles v. Salazar, the government shouldn’t be able to censor speech or force people to speak views they disagree with. We are asking the appeals court to protect the ability of Coloradans to openly express their beliefs on a hotly debated issue.”
