KY elementary cheerleaders' chant sparks discussion on religious expression. What to know

A Crittenden County Junior Pro Cheerleading coach called for a school district review after she said a principal objected to elementary-age cheerleaders chanting “We’re Team Jesus” during a school hallway celebration. After the coach shared her stance on social media, the district said there was a miscommunication over policies on student expression. FULL STORY: KY cheerleaders chanted in school hallway, ‘We’re team Jesus.’ Why it led to concern Here are five things to know from the story: The chant happened Monday at Crittenden County Elementary School during a walk-through honoring the third- and fourth-grade Junior Pro cheerleading squad after their first-place finish in a competition over the weekend. Coach Brittany Buell-Schneider said the chant was unplanned and started by the girls themselves. She said the principal told her, “we will never be able to do that again.” Superintendent Tonya Driver said students have the right to express personal beliefs during the school day, as long as the expression is student-led and nondisruptive. Under Kentucky law, public school students can voluntarily pray and share religious or political viewpoints in assignments, speech, literature and clothing, provided they don’t disrupt or coerce others.

Illinois high school football powerhouse proves doubters wrong in upset win

FRANKFORT, IL. − Mount Carmel football (Chicago, IL) has heard the doubts all season. The Caravan entered the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) postseason as the No. 8 seed in the 8A playoffs, despite being the four-time defending state champions and underdogs in a rare occurrence. That meant Mount Carmel had to go on the road against No. 1 Lincoln-Way East in the quarterfinals on Saturday, Nov. 14 — its biggest test to continue the quest for a fifth straight state title. In the first half, the Caravan did themselves no favors, as the team trailed 10-7 at halftime due to penalties and self-inflicted wounds. However, Mount Carmel was able to overcome trailing the majority of the game for a 21-16 "upset" win over the Griffins to advance to the semifinals. "It's super big," Mount Carmel senior middle linebacker and Notre Dame commit Roman Igwebuike said of the victory. "We beat them last year, but we still had a chip on our shoulder. I feel like we've been doubted too much this year and I feel like everybody knows what we're capable of. They just keep doubting our program." Fast start, slow middle, big finish While the Caravan struck first
