Everett off-campus Bible program draws mixed reaction from parents

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — Every Tuesday and Wednesday, the red bus comes back to Emerson Elementary.

It’s decorated with branding for LifeWise Academy, an optional Bible education program that pulls students out of public school during the day for classes. The program is legally permitted under a little-known 1952 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allows for off-site religious instruction during the school day.

Emerson Elementary and Everett Public Schools don’t endorse the program or use public resources to assist it. LifeWise classes take place at New Hope Assembly, just a few blocks away from the elementary school.

Some parents at Emerson Elementary, though, worry about religious education taking place in the middle of a public school day and possible disruptions for students.
