Liberty Counsel sent a letter offering a pro bono defense of Lynchburg City Schools if they are questioned for continuing time-honored cultural activities and other public school commemorations of traditional American holidays such as Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Since the holiday has both religious and secular aspects, public schools may sponsor related activities without censoring the word “Easter” or foregoing the events.
