God and Kids at Desert Sands
20 October 2004
Parents, grandparents and teachers in Desert Sands, California, protested to the local school board about "inappropriate religious activities" that had been taking place on district school campuses. Among their complaints were the presence of Christian posters hanging on school walls, and a Southwest Community Church youth minister who distributed pictures of church activities when he worked at the school as a lunchtime volunteer. Students who attend Southwest Church have also distributed its literature on school grounds and the parents claim that an atmosphere of "'coercive proselytizing'" has made their children feel unwelcome for not participating.
