Del Norte County Unified School District stopped a teacher at Crescent Elk Middle School, Crescent City, Calif., from holding a bible study as part of an overnight field trip to her home.
“When a school allows a teacher to lead students in a devotional bible study, the school becomes complicit in an egregious constitutional violation and breach of trust,” wrote Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel in a letter sent Jan. 26.
Superintendent Don Olson responded the next day, saying that he “directed staff to stop this practice immediately,” and would work with the district’s legal team, thanking FFRF for making him aware it was happening.
