Pennsylvania —

The Muhlenberg School District in Reading, Pa., made sure that the superintendent wouldn’t continue the practice of emailing students overtly religious content.

A student informed FFRF that on April 18, 2025, the district superintendent sent a schoolwide email to all Muhlenberg High School students and staff that explicitly promoted Christian beliefs, including a statement about how students need to “remember that Jesus gave His life out of love for all humanity.” The email signature additionally promotes faith. The student explained that this was not the first time the superintendent has promoted Christianity in a school setting, and they felt unheard and unseen due to the superintendent’s actions.

“Public school staff, including superintendents, may not promote religion to students,” FFRF Staff Attorney Madeline Ziegler wrote to the school board.

The school board reached out to its legal representative Brian F. Boland. “The matter you brought to the school district’s attention in July has been investigated and addressed,” Boland confirmed. “We welcome you to advise us if any such issues should come to your attention in the future.”
