School Says Musical Violates Spirit of Church-State Separation
In Old Washington, Ohio, the superintendent of schools has banned the Buckeye Trail High School drama club from presenting the play "Godspell". The superintendent claims that the play, which sets the Gospel of St. Matthew to modern music, violates the spirit of church-state separation. Today's Akron Beacon Journal reports that two teachers have resigned as advisors to the high school's Drama Club because this and another play involving violence were censored.
