CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A group of parents and students are suing a West Virginia school district for allowing an evangelical preacher to hold a religious revival assembly during the school day earlier this month that some students were required to attend.
For debate:
Should Christians be allowed to corral up students in our public schools for Christian indoctrination?
This event was debated on this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=39054
The quote from NPR leaves out a lot if pertinent information. This was a voluntary assembly during a time in the school week set aside for student groups to invite in outside speakers. No one was corralled. Two teachers mistakenly instructed their students to attend the assembly, but later realized their mistake and apologized.
The title of this thread is "Some Christians refuse to follow our laws." The reality is that these Christians did follow our laws and denying them the same rights given to other groups would be an example of refusing to follow our laws.
In another thread Historia cited the legal guidance that pertains to this issue.

as voluntary religious clubs and meetings at public schools are allowed during non-instructional time. See
