ADF: School district’s efforts to make alternative pre-school site safe should be commended, not condemned

ADF letter assures Iowa school district that U.S. Constitution does not require it to neglect safety, handicap needs of students

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — The Alliance Defense Fund sent a letter this week to Cedar Falls Community School District to discount an atheist group’s claim that the district cannot make safety and handicap-accessibility renovations to a nearby church property so that it can use the facilities to accommodate overcrowding for its pre-school program and meet city codes. ADF contends that adding handicap-accessible restrooms and installing emergency exists at the district’s alternative site for pre-school students in no way violates the U.S. Constitution.
