Advocacy Group Sends US Schools Publication On Right of Religious Expression

Liberty Counsel announced last week that it is sending a copy of its publication Patriot's Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools to every school in the United States. It says it is completing delivery of 99,750 copies around the country. According to the press release: "This booklet clarifies the rights of students to pray, form Bible clubs, and engage in religious expression in public schools, including holiday celebrations and the rights of teachers, parents, and guardians." According to God Discussion, Matt Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel, says that he believes public school teachers lack information on religious freedoms.
