Atheist Group Shuts Down Kansas School’s Operation Christmas Child Participation

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which advocates for atheists, agnostics, and non-theists, has persuaded a Kansas school district to discontinue their participation in Samaritan’s Purse’s ‘Operation Christmas Child’ because of the program’s strong Christian beliefs.

According to The Freedom From Religion Foundation’s website, after a school’s staff member reached out to the atheistic watchdog organization, they filed a complaint with the school’s Superintendent Tony Helfrich.

The complaint stated that the staff member reported multiple “egregious constitutional violations” that have occurred at Liberty Middle School in Pratt, Kansas. The Freedom From Religion Foundation’s attorney, Christopher Line, cited that “Vice Principal Ron Hill has been using his position to promote and endorse his personal religious beliefs to students.”
