Rutherford Institute asks U.S. Supreme Court to Protect student artistic expression, reverse ban on instrumental performance of “Ave Maria”

Rutherford Institute Press Release: “Voicing the concern that arts education in the public schools is in danger of being sanitized of any art with remotely religious themes or inspiration, The Rutherford Institute has asked the U.S Supreme Court to weigh in on a case in which public school officials banned the performance of an instrumental arrangement of Franz Biebl’s ‘Ave Maria’ at a high school graduation simply because the superintendent feared it might be religious.”
