ACLU Warns Schools Of Religious Talks
OMAHA (AP) - ACLU Nebraska is cautioning state school districts against inviting speakers who proselytize to students under the guise of anti-drug and -alcohol messages. In letters sent Wednesday to school superintendents, ACLU Nebraska legal director Amy Miller says there have been complaints about Christian messages during student assemblies. Miller singled out two speakers in particular: Keith Becker and Ron Brown. Becker speaks about the death of his teenage brother in a drunken-driving crash. His group's website notes the talk incorporates Scripture. Brown is an assistant football coach at Nebraska who helped found a nonprofit that spreads a Christian message.
