Policy 424: Religion in the Las Cruces Public Schools

One of the most recent, yet baffling responses to the quest to simply add an 's' to the word 'religion' in the previous article about the Policy 424: (Which reads in part) "but [the school district] does have the responsibility to teach about religion." was revealed after the recent review of the Policy and Procedures 424 by a committee.

One of the School Board members had been asking that an 's' be added per the wishes of members of the community. This same School Board member was also on the review committee.
BUT, the review committee met in secret without informing the School Board member of the meeting.

As long as the word 'religion' remains singular the connotation is Christianity is the favored religion in the Las Cruces, New Mexico, Public Schools. Teachers and staff will read it that way.
Those parents and organizations bent on pressuring the schools to promote Christianity will read it that way. And they all know why the Las Cruces Public Schools Board of Education and Superintendent will not add the 's.'
