Anti-Science Parents’ Group Files Appeal in Fight Against Kansas Public Schools Curriculum
An organization that claims a statewide teaching plan will instill a “a non-theistic religious Worldview” in Kansas public school students has taken its fight to an appeals court.
Citizens for Objective Public Education (COPE) is asking the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate the organization’s lawsuit that seeks to stop the 2013 plan.
The group contends the plan violates the religious rights of students, parents and taxpayers and is unconstitutional.
A new 64-page COPE filing at the Denver-based court contends that a judge in Kansas City, Kan., erred in December by throwing out the organization’s lawsuit.
