Story summary

The Everett Public Schools in Washington state have agreed to publicly apologize and pay $275,000 in attorney’s fees after a lawsuit challenged policies that required elementary school students to keep Bibles concealed in sealed envelopes. The lawsuit was brought by LifeWise Academy, whose CEO Joel Penton reported that the restrictions were emotionally distressing for both parents and children, making them feel pressured to hide their faith. Additionally, the district mandated weekly permission slips for off-campus Bible instruction, further emphasizing the restrictive nature of these policies towards religious practices in schools.
