Connecticut's Enfield School District put an end to the dispute over its plan to use a church for its graduation proceedings. The Board voted 5-4 not to appeal a lower court's ruling that the arrangement violates the separation of church and state.
"The board of education decided tonight to choose a graduation location that will bring people together rather than divide them," said Andrew Schneider, director of the ACLU of Connecticut. "This will bring certainty to the graduation plans of Enfield students and will refocus the attention on what matters most — the education and graduation of Enfield students."
