Humanist group not satisfied with school systems response on religious activity
Placeholder Image
A humanist group that accused coaches at Chestatee High School of leading students in prayer is not backing down after receiving a letter on behalf of the school district stating it will ensure all staff, students’ and residents’ rights are protected. The Appignani Humanist Legal Center, the legal arm of the American Humanist Association, responded to the letter by alleging that religious activity is continuing at the school and in fact “these practices have been ongoing, pervasive and longstanding.” The letter contains a photograph of coaches praying with students at North Hall High School, which it states was taken shortly after the group made its initial complaint with the school district.
