California school district sued over mosque field trip
The mosque field trip was part of the school's Social Justice Pathway curriculum.
Palo Alto Unified Superintendent Jason Glass stated he is reviewing the allegations but will not comment further on pending litigation.
A group of multi-faith parents filed a lawsuit against Palo Alto Unified School District and Palo Alto High School's principal Brent Kline over a mosque field trip.
“Just as the First Amendment prevents public schools from forcing students to pledge allegiance to the flag, it prevents those schools from compelling them to wear religious attire. If students were required to do that as part of a curricular field trip, it would conflict with the First Amendment's bar on compelled speech,”
