Gideons defeat ACLU in court case|Onenewsnow
Missouri’s South Iron School District has received a favorable court ruling.
The lawsuit goes back to 2006, when the American Civil Liberties Union sued the South Iron School District for allowing The Gideons International to distribute Bibles on the school campus and in the classrooms. A judge initially barred the distribution of the Bibles in the classroom, which prompted the school to enact a policy that would allow the distribution of secular and religious material just outside the classroom, and students who were not interested in the material could simply walk by.
The judge issued an order against that policy as well. Matt Staver is the founder of Liberty Counsel, which is representing the school district.
