Lawsuit

American Humanist Association
v.
Elementary School District No. 22 of Adair County, Oklahoma

  • Status Completed, Victory
  • Filed 10/27/2020
  • Case number 6:20-cv-00383-JFH

We challenged a forced religious education program in Mayetta Public Schools in Adair County, Oklahoma, compelling the district to end the program and uphold the First Amendment.

People of minority religious traditions (and of no faith) should not have to fear that their children will face involuntary religious indoctrination if they attend public schools.

James M. Branum

Local Counsel, Oklahoma City

[This case] is a victory for our clients, who have shown immense courage to challenge prejudices and preconceived notions, despite the public backlash and intimidation they faced.
