Ohio Schools Get God
04 November 2004
From the state that brought you the next four years...The Columbus, Ohio Public Schools Board of Education has altered their policies regarding the role religion may take in public schools. The new rules accomodate religious students in various ways that are mostly personal: allowing religious clothing, permitting students to sit apart from others during a fast, or providing food options for students who can't eat pork; allowing student prayer during non-class time; and allowing "release time" for recognized religious holidays. Beyond matters of clothing and diet, though, the Board's decision will also give religious groups use of school facilities, and students will be allowed to distribute religious literature and other materials on campus.
