Faith, Freedom & Public Schools Event for Educators

February 04, 2017

Purpose of the Event

It provides practical ways to appropriately and lawfully include teaching about the influence of the Bible and Christianity as it relates to history, culture, and values across the whole curriculum.You'll also receive updates on federal and state religious liberty issues affecting students and teachers.
