My name is Kelly Shackelford. I am the President, CEO and Chief Counsel of First Liberty Institute. As a constitutional scholar who’s been fighting to protect religious freedom for 35 years, I can tell you that public expressions of faith are making a comeback.
When we won a precedent-setting for Coach Joe Kennedy at the Supreme Court, we convinced the Supreme Court to do more than just give a coach his job back.
In their ruling in our Kennedy v. Bremerton case, the justices changed the way the government looks at public displays of faith.
Local, state and federal governments no longer have to abide by the flawed Lemon test. Instead, following the original meaning of the Establishment Clause, public expressions of faith are now evaluated by examining our nation’s history and tradition.
Watch First Liberty’s Chief Legal Officer Jeff Mateer to learn more about the history and tradition test and how it impacts you and your hometown.
