Court: Pa. elementary school must allow student to distribute religious fliers for Christmas parties ADF attorneys represent student in lawsuit against Pocono Mountain School District
SCRANTON, Pa. — A federal court issued an order Thursday that prohibits the Pocono Mountain School District from continuing to stop a student from distributing fliers that invite other students to church parties and other religious events. Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed suit in March on behalf of the then-5th-grade student after she was stopped from distributing fliers that invited fellow Barrett Elementary Center students to a Christmas party at her church. The court also halted enforcement of district policies that prohibit any student speech considered to be promoting Christianity.
