Fayette school district responds to lawsuit for promoting prayer (AUDIO)

November 22, 2013 By Jessica Machetta

The Fayette School Board has issued a statement concerning the Federal lawsuit alleging violations of the Constitution.

Superintendent Tamera Kimball provided the statement, which says the District has not received a copy of the lawsuit, and “thus cannot make specific comment at this time concerning the allegations.”

AUDIO: Kimball responds to lawsuit.

A lawsuit filed this week in Federal Court by Washington DC-based American Humanist Association, on behalf of two un-named students and a parent in the Fayette School District, claims the school is violating the constitution by allowing prayer on campus. American Humanist Association legal spokesperson Monica Miller says prayer sessions are held in a classroom — and that they should stop immediately.

Miller acknowledges the prayer sessions are held in the morning before classes started.

AUDIO: Miller tells CentralMoinfo.com about the lawsuit.
