A Texas school district has reversed course after reportedly prohibiting a 12-year-old student from sharing Bible verses with her classmates.
Attorneys with the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) are calling the Killeen Independent School District's about-face a victory for "every student's right to live out their faith," after successfully challenging the district on behalf of a fifth-grade special-needs student.
According to the law group, the young girl shared typed Bible verses on little strips of paper with classmates during recess, lunch, and after school.
