Wichita public school marquee won't advertise after-school bible club (January 31, 2019)

A public marquee in Wichita Public Schools will no longer advertise an after-school bible club.

FFRF Legal Fellow Chris Line wrote to Unified School District No. 259’s general counsel, alerting the school to the unconstitutionality of using a school-owned marquee to advertise religious clubs.

The school has adjusted its policy and, in the future, only official school-sponsored activities will be advertised on the sign.
