A Georgia elementary school recently barred two children from sharing Easter eggs with their classmates because the plastic eggs contained Bible verses.

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is stepping in to represent the children and their families in this constitutional battle.

“Our clients prepared plastic Easter eggs containing jelly beans, a poem about the colors of the jelly beans, and Bible verses explaining the meaning of Easter,” the ACLJ stated. “The children were set to distribute these eggs to their classmates the day before Good Friday.”

However, the plan hit a roadblock when the parents informed the teachers about the gifts. The teachers inspected the eggs and, upon discovering the Bible verses, prohibited the distribution due to the religious content.

The ACLJ condemned the school district’s decision as unconstitutional, emphasizing that children have the right to share their faith with their peers.

“Elementary school students still possess the right to freely share their faith,” the ACLJ asserted. “The law is clear that suppressing student-to-student distribution of religious literature is unlawful under the First Amendment.”

Facing the threat of a federal lawsuit, the school district eventually reversed its decision.

“The school has agreed to recognize our clients’ constitutional rights to distribute religious materials, such as Easter eggs, candy canes, and anything else ”“ even Bible verses,” the ACLJ noted.

The school district initially claimed that the Easter egg ban was due to “concern with children’s allergies.”

For the record, the only people allergic to Bible verses are godless heathens and the devil.

“No one is allergic to Bible verses, and that was clearly the reason the students were prohibited from distributing the Easter eggs,” the ACLJ retorted.

Something smells rotten in that Georgia school district and it’s not the Easter eggs.
