ACLU fright fest: previous legal settlement makes Tenn. school district needlessly jittery
ADF letter to Cheatham County School District says no settlement can ban private religious activities of teachers
ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. — Public school teachers cannot be banned from participating in private religious activities when acting in their private capacities, according to a letter the Alliance Defense Fund sent Monday to the Cheatham County School District. ADF sent the letter after attorneys for the school district wrongly concluded that teachers must be barred from participating in a privately sponsored religious event because of a 2009 legal settlement with the American Civil Liberties Union. The ADF letter points out that the settlement cannot revoke any person’s constitutionally protected rights when they are not acting in their official capacities.
