Next time you attend a Florida high school football game or basketball game, alongside the national anthem and other pregame traditions, you may also hear a prayer.
It comes eight years after Jacksonville’s University Christian and Tampa’s Cambridge Christian School were denied the ability to say a prayer over the loudspeaker ahead of their championship game.“You have a right to free expression of religion. If the government is denying your right to say a prayer before the game, they are infringing your speech,” said DeSantis.
The opening remarks cannot be derogatory, rude, or threatening and they don’t necessarily have to be religious in nature. “The notion that there would be prescheduled prayers that will likely be Christian in nature is an erosion of that separation and it ignores the Jewish students or the Muslim students or the students who, maybe they don’t have any religion that they practice at home,” said Eskamani.Attorney Jesse Panuccio represents Cambridge Christian, which sued the Florida High School Athletic Association after the 2015 incident.
