School Affiliated Foundation Criticized For Funding Christian-Themed Program

In Kimberly, Wisconsin, the nonprofit Positive Youth Development Foundation (PYDF), which is affiliated with the Kimberly Area School District, awards grants to promote youth and family development and prevent at-risk behaviors. Today's Appleton Post Crescent reports that the Freedom From Religion Foundation is questioning PYDF's role in sponsoring last week's Secret Keeper Girl Bod Squad Tour-- a program for girls in grades 3 to 6 created by Christian author Dannah Gresh-- that urges modest dress. The event was moved from Kimberly High School to a local church after a complaint from Americans United for Separation of Church and State. However the Foundation continued its $500 sponsorship.
