Good News: Washington School Respects Students’ Right to Pray

 

A Washington school will acknowledge students' constitutional rights to meet on campus for religious purposes during non-instructional time, thanks to a lawsuit filed by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF).

East Valley High School officials had prohibited students from meeting for prayer and discussion in a room available for student-led gatherings.

“Christian students shouldn’t be discriminated against for their beliefs on any public high school campus,” ADF counsel David Cortman said. “The East Valley School District should be commended for agreeing to respect the constitutional rights of Christian students to meet together as other students are allowed to do.”
