District sued over Day of the Dead
• Christian Fundamentalism
A public-interest law firm has filed a lawsuit to stop the classroom activities of fourth-graders at a Petaluma, Calif., public elementary school planned in observance of "El Dia de los Muertos" or "Day of the Dead."
. . .
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Kathy Bricker, a mother who is raising her fourth-grade daughter according to her Christian beliefs. Bricker contacted USJF only after her complaints to the school principal and district superintendent were ignored.
"I have the right to send my daughter to school to learn math, reading and writing without having a religious ritual shoved down her throat," Bricker told WorldNetDaily.
