School Leader Privately Admits ‘Indefensible’ Breach of Church and State
SkyView Academy committed an “indefensible” violation of the separation of church and state in its work with the evangelical Christian charity Operation Christmas Child , according to a private email from one of the school’s principals. Previously, the charter school had publicly denied wrongdoing and said it wouldn’t risk a threatened lawsuit in order to protect its “resources and reputation.”
The private email from SkyView Elementary Principal Mike Munier was inadvertently sent to 9Wants To Know’s Kyle Clark.
Munier’s email said the religious rights attorneys at Alliance Defending Freedom said SkyView “had an indefensible case due to a mistake on our part.”
“I don’t know what he’s referencing,” said Lorrie Grove, President of SkyView’s Board of Governors.
“It had nothing to do with anybody telling us we had an indefensible case,” Grove said.
