RE: Filter Law: What the fuck? Religious Freedom Debated in Montgomery County Schools

The Bush administration has joined with a national religious group in an attempt to force the Montgomery County school district to put recruitment fliers for an afterschool Bible club in children�s backpacks, school officials said.

The U.S. Justice Department�s civil rights division filed an amicus brief June 11 in federal court supporting the effort of the Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) of Maryland to promote its Good News Clubs in two Montgomery County elementary schools, Mill Creek Towne in Rockville and Clearspring in Damascus.
