District Admits Error In Giving Sex
And Drug Survey Without Parental Consent In response to a demand letter from Liberty Counsel, a school district in Mayville, Wisconsin has adopted a written policy and procedures requiring parental notification and an opt-out of objectionable surveys. Liberty Counsel represents Gary Sowin, who objected to a survey about drug use and sex that was given to his daughter, Shannon, earlier this year while she was in the tenth grade at Mayville High School. The new policy covers surveys of attitudes on a wide range of personal matters. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated situation. The same survey is being used in school districts all across the Nation as a part of a Centers for Disease Control program. Parents have the right to know if their children are being exposed to this survey. Check with your local school district and ask if they have a policy requiring parental notice and an opportunity to opt their children out of objectionable surveys. If they do not, then contact Liberty Counsel at 800-671-1776 for help. We have developed a model school district policy entitled "Notification of Parental Rights Under The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment" that is designed to help school districts comply with federal law. Contact Liberty Counsel at 800-671-1776 to obtain your copy today. Read our News Release at www.LC.org for the full story, including a description of the outrageous survey that was given without parental consent. Students Need Prayer In School With all of the assaults on traditional values that our kids face in the public schools today, they need prayer more than ever. We have designed an attractive wristband to remind students to pray every day. Each bright red wristband is embossed with “I WILL PRAY” on one side and "PRAY WITHOUT CEASING-- I THESS 5:17" on the other side. These are also perfect for your church youth group, but can be worn by Christians of all ages. A suggested donation of $3 includes shipping and handling. You can also order a package of 10 wristbands for $15 or 50 wristbands for only $50. Order your wristbands today in our online store or call us at 1-800-671-1776. Size: Approx. 8 inch circle (20.2cm).
Please join with us and protect student's and parent's rights. Your monthly commitment of $10, $50, $100 or more can help. There are several ways to give. Mail your check to PO Box 540774, Orlando, FL 32854, call 1-800-671-1776 or go to www.LC.org and click on the "Donate" button.
