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. Driver said district and school leaders will review policies on

Here's the latest on the measles outbreaks in Indiana and Kentucky

EVANSVILLE – The health district that covers Henderson and multiple other counties in Western Kentucky disclosed a potential measles exposure at a restaurant in Owensboro. According to a post to the Green River District Health Department Facebook page Friday morning, the possible exposure occurred at Colby's Fine Food & Spirits on Oct. 29. Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services states the exposure took place some time between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. That would have been a few hours before the start of the city's "Trail of Treats" event downtown. Anyone who was in or around the restaurant at that time is encouraged to monitor for symptoms through Nov. 19. The announcement comes on the heels of the first confirmed measles case in Henderson County. Kentucky's statewide measles database officially recorded the case on Thursday, about a day after reports of it began to surface. The dashboard lists age ranges of reported cases, but doesn't boil them down on a one-to-one basis. The Courier & Press has attempted to learn the approximate age of the infected person in Henderson County, but Ethan Martin, public information officer for the Green River district, said they were "unable to share specific demographic
