Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
A Missouri school district has announced a settlement in a lawsuit with an anti-Christian group that claimed they violated the U.S. Constitution by promoting Christianity on the campus.
The anti-Christian American Humanist Association of Washington had filed a lawsuit in November 2013 against the Fayette School District on behalf of an “anonymous student” and “anonymous parent” who claimed the school wrongly promoted Christianity over other religions or no religion.
The complaint said that one of the school’s teachers prayed with students and that the high school’s principal announced weekly prayer meetings of a Christian group on the intercom.
The settlement was reached because the school said they did not want to spend more tax dollars fighting the anti-Christianists. The school added that while they did find one allegation was accurate, most of the complaints from the anti-Christian group were false, misleading or deliberately taken out of context.
The judge in the case has banned the schools’ teachers from participating in prayer or other religious activities at student events and prohibits teachers from having religious materials in sight of students.
The anti-Christian American Humanist Associated celebrated their latest removal of Christians from public life.
“Public schools must uphold the separation of church and state,” remarked AHA Executive Director Roy Speckhardt.
I’m getting sick and tired of my tax dollars going to support these anti-Christian antics in our schools.Every Christian family should pull their kids (all at one time) out of thesepublic schools and put them in a Christian school or home-school. Maybe this would bring them to their knees.
Yes, the school district should contact ACLJ. Go for it school board. Don’t let those turkeys walk all over you. the ACLJ will help you!!
It makes me sick to hear that this Missouri school district has “settled” with this antichristian group. What’s to settle? Cowards is what this school district is. So is the military who is rolling over and surrendering all our basic christian rights that so many brave americans across the centuries have died for. Where is our rightious anger?
How is this a victory?!?!? A teacher’s right (or anyone else’s)have been OUTLAWED because “someone” complained? Who was it? Another fictional character in the dirty devil’s army? Wasn’t this settled by a court battle fought by ACLJ about how teachers could participate? My husband teaches in our local school district. He often plays “contemporary Christian life-affirming music” in his room during exams, and has a “Shalom” sign on his wall. His particular school bldg./authorities have no problems w/ that. We do have a pretty Christian-conservative school board. This is 30 mi. outside St. Louis. (They have money left over in their budget on a fairly low tax rate.) I think the school should contact ACLJ to see if their rights were violated.
