Charter school under fire for buying religious books
Kansas charter school Mid-Kansas Independent Academy faces state and civil liberties critique for purchasing religious titles like Children’s Bible Handbook and Exploring God’s World. Officials note funding disputes with the Kansas Department of Education and a lawsuit from Moundridge district over roughly 1 million dollars in state support. Civil liberties advocates call public funding for faith-based materials unconstitutional while district officials emphasize educational needs and neutral curriculum decisions.
