School wins case of teacher postings
- Share via
From Times Wire Reports
School officials in Yorktown did not violate a teacher’s 1st Amendment rights when they removed Christian-themed postings from his classroom after parents complained, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled.
The postings included a flier publicizing the National Day of Prayer, a depiction of George Washington praying at Valley Forge, and articles about President Bush’s religious faith and former Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft’s prayer meetings with his employees.
They were removed from William Lee’s Spanish classroom at Tabb High School.
