Mississippi school ends bible study sessions (December 6, 2016)

It was brought to FFRF’s attention that the Gulfport (Miss.) School District staff was regularly propagating their personal religious belief to students in the public school. Several counselors had been handing out Christian-based informative packets to students, and every week staff members held a bible study with students.

FFRF Staff Attorney Sam Grover wrote to Superintendent Glen East to complain about the multiple violations. FFRF’s complainant reported that the district had complied with FFRF’s request by removing posters advertising religion, ceasing to pass out Christian materials during school hours and ending bible study sessions.
