A school district in Tennessee has agreed to an injunction requiring district officials to cut back on religious expression during the school day and at sporting events.
A federal judge in Tennessee issued the injunction Monday, putting an end to a nearly yearlong legal battle that began when the American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU Tennessee brought a lawsuit on behalf of two parents concerned about the school district “unconstitutionally imposing religion on students.”
Now that the school district has agreed to abide by the terms of the order, the lawsuit has ended.
In a press release, the ACLU of Tennessee described the ruling as a “victory for religious freedom.”
It claimed the school district engaged in “unconstitutional activities” over the years, including “school-directed prayer during mandatory assemblies; the distribution and display of Bibles during classes; Bible verses posted in hallways and shared in notes from school staff to students; prayers broadcast through loudspeakers at school sporting events … and a large Latin cross painted on the wall of a school athletic facility.”

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
But when islamic indoctrination is in schools, the aclu does nothing. More lawfare in our country.

And when have two conservative parents ever been listened to and the school has stopped doing lgbt perversity or allowing tshirts with conservative messages there to balance the libtard tshirts they have no problem with.
“...the ACLU of Tennessee described the ruling as a “victory for religious freedom.”
That’s not religious freedom. It is religious suppression.
Exactly- the ACLU won’t be happy until they ban just Christianity in all public places-

You are welcome. This is where I live. It’s a sparsely populated community, old school and church going. The decision is not going over well with the citizens.
