An Indiana school district has pledged to FFRF that it will not permit the distribution of fundamentalist flyers to its students.
A resident contacted FFRF to inform it that staff at Yankeetown Elementary School in Newburgh, Ind., were distributing ultrareligious flyers to third- and fourth-grade female students. The handouts were a description of POP Girls (“Pearls Of Purity”), a Christian ministry promoting the “wisdom of Christ.”
FFRF Legal Fellow Ryan Jayne wrote to Warrick County Schools Superintendent Brad Schneider on Jan. 20, cautioning the school district about disseminating such material.
“This flyer should not have been approved and we will put steps in place to prevent objectionable flyers to slip through the cracks in the future,” Schneider responded on Jan. 24. “You have my word that flyers of this nature will not be distributed home in the future.”
