Michigan School Bans Missionaries from Lunchtime After Complaint
Following a complaint from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Fremont Public Schools in Michigan will no longer permit missionaries on school grounds during lunch. The foundation, which advocates for the separation of church and state, cited instances where missionaries attempted to proselytize to students and another organization distributed permission slips for students to receive Bibles. The district’s superintendent confirmed that both religious outreach practices will cease, addressing concerns that these activities violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by giving religious groups preferential access to students.
