‘I do, in fact, hold animus’: Washington school district sued for open discrimination against legal Bible program

A Washington school district is facing a lawsuit for allegedly discriminating against a legal Bible program run by LifeWise Academy. The nonprofit offers off-site, Bible-based religious classes during school hours, adhering to released time laws upheld by the Supreme Court. Despite its compliance, the district has reportedly hindered the program's operation, sparking accusations of open discrimination. This case highlights the ongoing debate about the separation of church and state and the rights of religious organizations to operate within public school systems.
