Plano Clear for I Heart Jesus Pens
17 December 2004
A federal judge in Texas has issued a temporary restraining order against the Plano school district, prohibiting it from interfering with any students who wish to distribute religious messages at today's holiday parties. Parents in Plano, with the help of the locally-based conservative Liberty Legal Institute, are suing the school over last year's winter break party, when a student was not allowed to distribute pens bearing a Christian message, but instead had to leave them on a desk for classmates to pick up. The order also allows the parents of the student to distribute religious messages to other parents at the party, and for children to bring Christmas-colored napkins if they desire.
