More Victories

Today Id like to share a couple of recent victories with you:

(1)        A high-school senior in Illinois was told that her proposed statement for a yearbook was too religious and could not be submitted as written.  After we sent a demand letter to the school attorney (along with numerous telephone calls), and after the student drafted another religious statement (in order to satisfy a word limit), the statement was accepted and will be published in the yearbook later this year.

(2)        A high-school senior in Washington wanted to write a religious childrens book to satisfy the schools senior project program.  The project proposal was denied because the school policy requires that senior projects be sectarian and not religious in nature.  We sent a demand letter to the superintendent of schools and learned today that the student will be able to proceed with his religious book.  (The school has asked for additional time to consider how best to revise the guidelines.)

As we celebrate the Christmas season with friends and family, let us stop to count our blessings.  I thank the Lord for all of you who continually encourage the ACLJ with your kind letters, fervent prayers and generous support.  May God bless you!

Merry Christmas!
