On February 9th, more than one hundred students of West Virginia’s Huntington High School protested after many students were forced to attend a Christian revival assembly during school hours. The students were told that their participation in the assembly was compulsory. During the walk out, the students chanted "separate the church and state" and "my faith, my choice.” According to Jedd Flowers, a spokesperson for the Cabell County Schools, the Christian event was supposed to be voluntary, but a few teachers allegedly thought it was compulsory. Bethany Felinton, a parent of one of the students, said her Jewish son tried asking permission to leave, but was told he couldn't go because the classrooms were locked. At the assembly the students were also told that those who do not follow the Bible would go to Hell. Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), sent a letter to Cabell County School District stating that it’s inappropriate and unconstitutional for the District to proselytize students during school hours on school property. The American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia stated that these activities are a violation of students' civil rights.
