Public Schools Promoting Islam During Ramadan
A public interest law firm is challenging a New Jersey school district for promoting Islam during the current Islamic month of Ramadan. Memorial High School, located in West New York, New Jersey, is displaying Ramadan posters sponsored by the school district wishing students to “Have a blessed Ramadan.”
The poster then offers the following blessing: “May Allah Continue to shower you love and wisdom.”
The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF) – which offers pro bono law services regarding freedom of conscience issues — subsequently sent a “cease and desist” letter to the school district.
Teachers, concerned about the school district’s promoting Islam as a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, contacted the law firm.
