Court Says Required Trainings Do Not Violate Students’ Freedom of Religion
ASHLAND, KY – In a strongly-worded opinion, a federal judge ruled late Friday that there is no religious right to stay out of school trainings aimed at reducing anti-gay harassment. The American Civil Liberties Union entered the case when a national conservative legal organization filed a lawsuit seeking to exempt students from an anti-harassment training implemented in response to an earlier ACLU case.
