After receiving a complaint from the Freedom from Religion Foundation, the Kountze ISD superintendent banned the messages.
on behalf of the Kountze High School and Middle School cheerleaders and was granted a temporary injunction that allowed student-made religious banners to continue for the duration of the football season and until the court made a final decision in the case.
