ADF asks U.S. Supreme Court to end Idaho censorship of all religious, classical texts in public schools
ADF seeks review of 9th Circuit ruling that upheld ban on all religious, Western Civ. texts from objective study in every public school, university
WASHINGTON — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday that asks the court to weigh in on an Idaho charter school’s lawsuit against state officials. The lawsuit involves the Idaho Public Charter School Commission’s complete ban on the use of texts and documents deemed to be “religious” even if they are classical books from Western Civilization taught with regard to their literary and historical importance. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit upheld the ban earlier this year. If the commission’s misinterpretation of state law is allowed to stand, all Idaho public school and university students will be subject to the ban.
