The decision to deny permission to a senior student at a Colorado high school to paint a Bible verse alongside a Christian image on her personal parking space has been reversed.
Sophia Shumaker wanted to paint a text from 1 Corinthians 13 v4 alongside an image featuring a shepherd, but her request was refused by the school despite it being allowed by other schools within the same district. However, following a letter sent to the school on her behalf by the First Liberty Institute, the school has revised its policy and granted her permission.
