FFRF shuts down religious recruiting (December 1, 2016)

FFRF has put an end to church advertising through an Oklahoma public school district after Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel contacted Superintendent Brad Overton.

A local district family informed FFRF that Cordell Public Schools had partnered with several local churches to provide school supplies to children. The churches were taking advantage of the school's charitable goal by using the partnership to recruit church members.

Overton wrote back, informing FFRF that changes had been made to the supplies distribution system to eliminate any religious endorsement.
