FFRF had a Latin cross and a bible verse removed from the Guilford County Schools system in Greensboro, N.C.
On March 21, 2023, FFRF sent a letter to Guilford County Schools after being informed that Northwest Guilford Middle School was displaying a decoration in a classroom that included a Latin cross and a bible verse, reading, “Let the field be joyful and all that is in it — Psalm 96:12.”
FFRF Staff Attorney Chris Line wrote to District Superintendent Whitney Oakley and followed up to ensure that the display was not still standing. Legal representation from the district called and confirmed that the district had taken it down the day the district received the letter, and was unaware that no one from the district had reached out to report the corrective action.
