FFRF gets religious signs taken down (November 7, 2016)

After FFRF's objection, two religious signs are no longer visible during school days at a public elementary school in Woodbridge, Va.

A community church in the town that rents the school building for its Sunday services was regularly leaving up signs promoting church services in front of Penn Elementary School. The signs were being displayed throughout the school week and were placed near the driveways to the school.

FFRF contacted Prince William County Public Schools Superintendent Steven Walts asking that action be taken to ensure the church signs would not be placed in front of Penn Elementary School.

FFRF was informed by the school system on Nov. 7 that the signs had been removed from school grounds.
