'Jesus Pizza’: Lawsuit Claims That A Colo. Public High School Promotes A Local Church To Students
A Colorado public high school is being operated like a private Christian institution, according to a new lawsuit by a former teacher. Robert Basevitz, a special education teacher, has filed suit against the Fremont RE-2 School District, its superintendent and the principal of Florence High School. He alleges that the school unconstitutionally integrates religion into daily official activities and that officials retaliated against him when he complained about the practice.
The crux of Basevitz’s complaint regards the Cowboy Church at the Crossroads, led by Pastor Randy Pfaff. Pfaff rents Florence High School facilities for Sunday services, which he may legally do under court precedent. But according to Basevitz, school officials do much more than rent space to the church. He says they regularly promote Pfaff’s church and its activities to students.
“The Church is advertised by two large signs that are hung on school property and are clearly visible to motorists” the complaint states. “According to its supporters and the Church itself, its aim is to ‘get church back into school.’”
Pfaff and his congregants hold a daily morning service in front of the school’s flagpole, and according to the lawsuit, the regular prayer rally has become a bit of an obstacle for individuals trying to enter the school via its front entrance.
“With the School’s support, Pastor Pfaff has led these services, ministering to the School’s students and staff while holding a bible and using a public address system to preach his evangelical Christian messages,” the lawsuit asserts. It adds that the school often promotes these events through its public address system and flyers that list both Pfaff and Florence High School’s Principal Brian Schipper as contacts.

Couldn't resist. 
But seriously though I'm sick of churches trying to take over public schools. It's no wonder that people my age are rejecting religion. I would be interesting if this law suit goes all the way to SCOTUS.
