Schools Orders Second Grader to Stop Talking About Jesus
The ACLJ is thankfully on the case.
Todd Starnes reports that the family of a second grader in North Hill Elementary School in Des Moines, Washington is filing suit because the child had been repeatedly ordered to go to see the principal as punishment for talking about Jesus on the school playground. The school even went the extra mile and “banned Gospel tracts and have been inspecting the child’s backpack to confiscate them.”
The ACLJ described the school officials’ conduct as “outrageous.”
“Enough is enough!” wrote Christina Compagnone (Stierhoff) in her report on the ACLJ’s actions. “The actions of the school officials were particularly egregious in this case because they not only violated the student’s rights, but also publicly humiliated her.
“They will not get away with this. The ACLJ will ensure that this little girl’s religious liberties are respected once and for all,” she continued. “We recently sent a Demand Letter to the school; and if the school does not take immediate corrective action, we are ready to file in court if necessary.’
Now, if that child were walking around telling everyone about her gender journey, would the school have punished her? Or would they have held an assembly in support of her and invited the Drag Queen Kickline to perform a medley from La Cage aux Folles.
Yeah, that’s what I thought too.
A government school is confiscating gospel tracts. This is where we are. Thank God for organizations like the ACLJ pushing back on this.
It’s a little like this:
But fighting the good fight is worth it.
