Activist Group Makes Accusations of Constitutional Violations in Rabun County School District

The American Humanist Association has sent a letter to the Rabun County Board of Education calling for the removal of a sign that says ‘Jesus’, and for the stoppage of administrator led Christian based prayers at Graduations and school events, claiming that it is “a clear violation of the Establishment Clause of this First Amendment”. The letter comes after complaints from a student’s parent, who became upset after hearing Primary School Principal Lisa Patterson lead students in prayer at a 2nd grade and kindergarten graduation. The School Board has been given 7 days to respond to the letter before more legal action is taken. We will have more on this tomorrow. A copy of the letter can be viewed here.
