After FFRF protested, Haysville Public Schools in Kansas removed a print of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” from the cafeteria of Nelson Elementary School.
“As you are certainly aware, the display of religious messages in the school setting violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment,” Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel wrote to the school district. “When a district promotes religion over nonreligion, it impermissibly turns non-believing students, parents, and staff into outsiders.”
Donna L. Whiteman, attorney for the school district, informed Seidel on Sept. 14 that the print had been removed.
