The ACLJ has taken on a critically important case protecting the First Amendment rights of a 13-year-old public school student who was suspended by school officials for wearing a rosary to school.

A school district spokesperson told a local newspaper that the rosary beads ''could be an identifier of gangs'' and needed to be removed ''for safety reasons.''

Jordan appeared on CBN News to discuss the implications of this case as well as the First Amendment rights of students nationwide.
It's a troubling trend in America's public schools - trampling on the First Amendment rights of students in the name of political correctness.

In this case, the action taken by the Schenectady City School District - suspending a middle school student for wearing a religious artifact, a rosary - is insulting and inappropriate.  More than that, it shows blatant disregard for the First Amendment rights of students.

Sign our nationwide DEMAND LETTER - calling on the Schenectady City School District and the U.S. Department of Education to protect the constitutional rights of America's public school students!

There is no question:  America's students do not surrender their rights to religious expression at the schoolhouse door.

I urge you to stand with us now - understand what's at stake by viewing Jordan's online interview, and then add your name to our nationwide Demand Letter.

This is America.  We must do what is necessary to protect our students' rights!
