High School Senior Won't Take Faith Ban Lying Down

A Colorado Springs student is fighting for students' rights after a public high school banned them from praying, singing Christian songs, and discussing religious topics during their free time.

Officials at Pine Creek High School point to "separation of church and state" as the reason for their restrictions.

They told the students they were no longer allowed to use an empty choir room for religious purposes.

Pine Creek senior Chase Windebank reached out to the Alliance Defending Freedom to help protect his freedoms of religion and speech.

The ADF has filed a federal lawsuit Friday arguing: "Public schools should encourage the free exchange of ideas. Instead, this school implemented an ill-conceived ban that singles out religious speech for censorship during free time."
