A New York high school backed down after facing a legal threat and will now allow a Christian student to decorate her paid parking spot with Bible verses.
Grand Island High, near Buffalo, has a tradition of allowing seniors to pay $50 to decorate their parking spaces with “positive artwork” meant to beautify the campus and promote school spirit, according to legal group First Liberty.
Rising senior Sabrina Steffans submitted two designs featuring crosses and verses from John 14:6 and Jeremiah 29:11. Both were rejected by school officials, who only approved a third non-religious version.
“I put in three drawings that I did, and the first drawing was a drawing of this mountain called Salvation Mountain,” Steffans told CBN. “And when I handed it in, they said… completely no to it because it had crosses, a Bible verse, and just a lot of religion that they said that wasn’t allowed.”
