Oregon Threatens Christian, Private Schools with Jail, Fines but Lets Public Schools Meet, Suit Says

October 22, 2020 by Staff

(Christian Headlines) An Oregon Christian school filed a federal lawsuit Friday against the governor and other state officials over restrictions that permit small public schools to gather for in-person instruction during the pandemic but ban small private schools from doing so.

Private school officials that violate the state restrictions face imprisonment for 30 days and/or a fine up to $1,250.

At issue are restrictions by Gov. Kate Brown and other departments that prohibit public and private schools from gathering until certain COVID-19 testing metrics are met. The restrictions, though, provide certain exemptions to small public schools of 75 students or less while denying those same exemptions to private schools of similar size.

The result: Small public schools in certain counties can meet while small religious schools cannot, the lawsuit says.
