The Carter County Schools system in Grayson, Ky., will no longer allow the Grayson First Church of Christ to attempt to recruit middle school students to the church.
A concerned district community member reported that East Carter Middle School allowed two representatives of the church to enter the school and approach students in order to invite them to religious activities. The complainant specifically referenced an incident on March 7, 2023, wherein the church distributed flyers to students during the school day, inviting them to participate in the church’s new afterschool program.
FFRF Attorney Sammi Lawrence wrote to Superintendent Dr. Paul Green, who emailed FFRF back, informing it that action had been taken shortly after receiving FFRF’s letter, despite having not written back in over a year. “School administrators were provided training in appropriate policy for allowing the distribution of material,” he wrote. “To my knowledge, no further allegations have been made.”
