The Foundation and two parent complainants in Spartanburg, S.C., filed suit in U.S. District Court, Spartanburg Division, Greenville, S.C., on June 17, 2009, challenging the awarding of academic credits for evangelical release-time instruction. “A public school could not constitutionally teach this course, but in South Carolina, a student can now get a public school academic credit for taking this class,” explained George Daly, a well-known North Carolina civil rights attorney who is representing the plaintiffs.
