A Washington state school is accused of violating two elementary students’ First Amendment religious freedom protections by denying their request to form an interfaith prayer club on campus.
Creekside Elementary School in Sammamish, Washington rejected the application in February by two 11-year-old students to start an interfaith prayer group to “serve their community,” explained Kayla Toney, associate counsel at First Liberty Institute, in an April 9 letter to the Issaquah School District.
