38. Christ - it's even in public high schools here

The Douglas County School District in Colorado is being sued for its promotion of Christian organizations and their proselytizing efforts -- endorsements that violate the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause, according to an American Humanist Association lawsuit filed Wednesday.

At Cougar Run Elementary, a promotional flyer for a Christian mission to Guatemala organized by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Adventures in Missions was distributed to all students and parents at the public elementary school in March. According to the lawsuit, school officials solicited trip contributions from parents, asking them to make checks payable to “Cougar Run Elementary.” The school’s 6th grade class was also featured as a co-sponsor of the Christian mission, which cites sharing “the love and hope of Jesus” as a primary goal of the trip.

The school district is also accused of “pressuring public school children into participating in programs that proselytize Christianity” through its promotion of Operation Christmas Child, a Christian gift package program that sends impoverished children presents with messages advocating converting to Christianity. The program is operated by the evangelical Christian organization Samaritan’s Purse, led by evangelical minister Franklin Graham.

The Christmas donation program has faced numerous complaints in recent years for violating students’ First Amendment rights, including one incident in 2011 where North Carolina school children were asked to answer a questionnaire that asked them to complete the sentence: “I love Jesus because ______.”
