ACLU Files Lawsuit Against Tenn. School System; Claims Religious Activities Conducted Since 2006

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a federal lawsuit in Nashville, Tennessee against the Sumner County School System -- claiming the system promotes religious activity -- the Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (May 3, 2011).

The ACLU said teachers have led students in prayer and Bible study.

It also said there have been prayers over the loudspeaker, a cross displayed in a classroom, and that a youth minister proselytized at student lunch tables.

The suit seeks a court order declaring these practices -- which date back to 2006 -- unconstitutional.
