Over is Sabine Parish, the school system and the American Civil Liberties union settled a lawsuit last week sparked by the treatment of a Buddhist sixth-grader whose parents say he was harassed with Christian beliefs at the Negreet School. Allegations say a teacher declared Buddhism stupid, and the school regularly incorporated Christian prayer into classes and school events and scrolled Bible verses on an electronic marquee in front of the school. The agreement was filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Shreveport, and contains a long list of prohibited Christian-belief practices the school must adhere to. The lawsuit was filed in January against the Sabine Parish School Board, and science teacher Rita Roark, on behalf of Scott & Sharon Lane, and their three children. A test Roark gave included religious references that included this fill-in-the-blank entry: "Isn't it amazing what the ______ has made!!!!" When the Lanes' son "did not write in Roark's expected answer (LORD), she belittled him in front of the rest of the class," the lawsuit said. The only monetary disclosure in the settlement was $4,000 awarded to Sharon Lane to cover past costs of transporting the boy to Many for school. The Sabine Parish School Board must also provide the youngster with bus transportation as he continues to attend school in Many.
