Bible day care plans blocked over religious activities
Lois Mitten, head of Children's Discovery Centers, lost a $400,000 SBA loan bid to fund a Columbus center after officials deemed weekly Bible stories and prayers as religious indoctrination. Mitten kept centers open to all, offering opt outs, and noted Toledo facilities already serve the public. She may appeal, and considers removing prayers to qualify.
