NEW PARIS, Ind. (AP) - Officials at a northern Indiana school district have voted to end an elementary school Bible class that triggered a lawsuit. A lawyer for the Fairfield Community Schools advised the board that it was bound to lose a lawsuit over the constitutionality of the class at New Paris Elementary. The lawsuit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, alleged that a first-grader was left unsupervised in a hallway when his mother opted him out of the weekly 20-minute Bible class. He later was sent to the school library. The suit said the boy was being deprived of educational instruction during the Bible class and that the class violated the First Amendment.
