The Washington County Public Schools in Virginia removed an overtly religious display after FFRF wrote a letter of complaint to the district.
A High Point Elementary School parent reported that the school prominently displayed a prayer on the wall of the cafeteria: “Lord, We thank you for this food. Bless it to the nourishment of our bodies and us to your service. Amen.” The complainant additionally reported that there were bible verses on display in the main office in 2023.
FFRF Staff Attorney Chris Line wrote to District Superintendent Keith Perrigan, who emailed FFRF to inform it that, “all reports were investigated and addressed appropriately.” Upon further inquiry, FFRF confirmed that this meant that the display had been removed.
