In a lawsuit filed by the American Humanist Association on behalf of the plaintiffs, students claim that the school sponsored mandatory “Christian Assemblies" organized by a local Evangelical church. Alexis Smith, a senior at the school who says she attended one of the assemblies, says in the lawsuit: "Faculty and parents stood near the exit door, preventing students from leaving," while an administrator "harassed several students who attempted to leave." She claims that a classmate not involved with the suit videotaped the entire event.

The lawsuit claims the assembly for seniors included a video featuring a number of subjects: A pornography addict, a gay man, a promiscuous woman, drug addicts and people suffering from depression. The one factor that linked all of them was that they'd found hope in God. When the video concluded, the lawsuit claims the school staff applauded, and a representative from the church came forward to tell the studnets that they, too, could find solutions to their problems by turning to Christianity.

"The assembly immediately turned into a full-blown lecture on the supposed miracles, powers, and teachings of Jesus Christ and the Church Representative encouraged all students to find sanctity in him," the complaint reads. "The Church Representative encouraged those who did not believe in 'Jesus Christ' to 'just be open.'"

The complaint goes on to claim that the church representative concluded the assembly with a Christian prayer.

Just shows the desperation that churches have, and get ready because it's going to get far worst in the coming years.

Not in Canada. At least here churches have met their end in a noble, dignified end: sold to the highest bidder and turned into pizzerias and condos.

I'll wait for the video before commenting (which I am sure if it exists will be released).
