Appeal Filed By Intervenors Challenging Consent Decree On Religion In Schools

The Pensacola (FL) News-Journal reports that an appeal has been filed with the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Minor Doe I v. School Board for Santa Rosa County, Florida. In the case, a federal district court in February rejected an attempt by the Christian Educators Association International, representing teachers, to intervene to seek a modification of a consent decree under which the Santa Rosa County school board was enjoined from various activities that promoted religion in school classrooms and at school events.
