This is ridiculous.
A national organization that advocates separation of church and state is threatening to sue three Waukesha County school districts and a technical college if they do not stop using Elmbrook Church for their graduation ceremonies.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State sent letters to the Elmbrook, Mukwonago and New Berlin school district as well as Waukesha County Technical College, asking them to move graduation ceremonies to secular locations this year.
If the schools refuse, the organization said, it could go to court and ask for an injunction to stop them from holding their ceremonies at Elmbrook Church, said Alex Luchenitser, senior litigation counsel for the Washington D.C.-based group. The group argues that in holding graduation ceremonies in a church, public school officials violate the First Amendment's prohibition on state establishment of religion.
