During the 2015 holiday season, the Roopville Elementary School in Georgia posted a religious message on its marquee, reading, “For God so loved the world, He sent his only Son. Merry Christmas.”
FFRF Legal Fellow Madeline Ziegler wrote to Superintendent Phillip Hartley to ask that he ensure that the school is aware of the constitutional prohibition of displays of religious messages in public schools.
Hartley replied on Dec. 9, informing FFRF that he had discussed the requirements with the principal and assistant superintendent.
