Another victory for the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF)---and for the First Amendment---as Washington’s Northshore School District withdraws its unconstitutional Ramadan policy after receiving FCDF’s “cease and desist” letter. The policy went far beyond reasonable accommodations for Muslim students celebrating Ramadan to, as FCDF executive director Daniel Piedra put it, “exalting Islam as the privileged religion in the school district.”
Hopefully, the state’s Dieringer School District, which reportedly adopted a similar policy advanced by the Islamist organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and was warned by FCDF accordingly, will follow suit.
