LEBANON, Tenn., May 3 (UPI) -- A federal judge has ruled that a Tennessee school district must allow a parents group to refer to God in posters for a student prayer meeting.
Last year, another judge found that Wilson County had given the group, Praying Parents, too much freedom to distribute materials at schools, The Nashville Tennessean reported Saturday. U.S. District Judge Robert Echols found Friday that the school district could not censor phrases like "In God We Trust" and "God Bless America" from the posters.
"We are elated with the judge's ruling," said Nate Kellum, a lawyer with the Alliance Defense Fund, which represented parents of five children at Lakeview Elementary School. "We don't anticipate any more legal action with Wilson County."
Echols said the school policy must be "reasonable, viewpoint-neutral, and in accordance with federal law."
