Allowing Ohio’s public school students an excused absence during class instruction hours for private religious instruction “can negatively impact schools’ educational goals,” an atheist advocacy group claims in a letter sent to more than 600 public school districts in Ohio.
said, “did a wonderful job pointing out released time religious instruction as an entirely legal option for schools and families.”
Under the high court’s decision, the released time programs must be off-campus, privately funded, and parents must individually consent to a child’s attendance. No public funds or vehicles can transport students to or from the classes, according to the rules. The atheists also complained students who do not attend the released time programs “are inevitably singled out in the eyes of their peers.” The Christian students are encouraged “to proselytize their peers,” which FFRF said leads to “bullying.”
