Read Brief (opens in a new window)

We supported Mount Vernon City School District’s decision to fire a science teacher for teaching creationism to its students in violation of the 1st Amendment.

Public school teachers cannot use their governmental position to promote religious views to children entrusted in their care. This case is nothing more than a sneaky attempt to indoctrinate our students under the guise of free speech.
