10-year-old Luke Whitson of the Karns Elementary School, in Knoxville, TN, started talking to his friends about their shared faith and started an impromptu time of Bible reading during their recess. When Principal Cathy Summa became aware of their activities and of another parent's complaint about children reading the Bible, she informed the students that reading the Bible was banned. Once Luke's parents took the situation to court to defend their son's religious liberty, the story coming from the school began to change. They are still seeking damages.

“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
