Here are some important law-and-religion news stories from around the web:

• In Mustin v. Wainwright, the Sixth Circuit reversed a lower court’s decision dismissing a Free Exercise and RLUIPA claim brought by a Muslim inmate at a correctional facility. The Sixth Circuit reasoned that the plaintiff was likely to succeed in his Free Exercise and RLUIPA claims, as it found that Defendants’ failure to provide adequate space to plaintiff and other Muslim inmates, as well as the serving of raw, expired, or pork-incorporated food, satisfied the plaintiff’s burden in pleading that the correctional facility placed a substantial burden upon his ability to practice his religion freely.
• In Cambridge Christian School, Inc. v. Florida High School Athletic Association, Inc., the Eleventh Circuit affirmed a lower court’s decision rejecting a Christian private schools claims that the Association’s refusal to allow the school to use the state championship football stadium’s PA System to lead a pre-game prayer violated the school’s free speech and free exercise rights. The Eleventh Circuit reasoned that because the government is the entity engaging in speech at the games, the government’s control over the content of its message does not infringe upon the school’s rights.
• In Reinoehl v. Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation, an Indiana District Court held that a public school that teaches the theory of evolution as part of its state-mandated science curriculum does not violate the Establishment Clause. The District Court rejected Plaintiff’s claim that the theory of evolution originates from the religion of atheism, instead holding that evolution is not a religion and that the idea that it may incidentally coincide with certain tenets of atheism does not render the teaching of evolution in public schools violative of the Establishment Clause.
• In Doe v. First Baptist Church of Pierce City, Missouri, the Missouri Court of Appeals referred to the State’s Supreme Court the question whether the Establishment Clause prevents a court from determining if a youth pastor negligently failed to supervise children in a youth ministries program.
• The National Labor Relations Board has filed a complaint against Edward Waters University in Florida for withdrawing recognition of its faculty labor union. The university, which is affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal Church, argues that its rights as a religious educational institution permit it to withdraw recognition of the union.
