Court: Ark. school wrong to ban flier for church-sponsored event

Policy that kept 3rd-grader, parent from distributing invitations to church activities on hold while suit progresses

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A federal court issued an order Friday that halts a Pulaski County Special School District policy used by school officials to deny a 3rd-grade student and her mother permission to distribute fliers for church-sponsored activities.  Alliance Defense Fund attorneys represent the Sherwood Elementary School mother and daughter in a lawsuit filed last April against the district, which will not be able to enforce its unconstitutional policy while the case proceeds.

Case Name:  A.W. v. Pulaski County Special School District
