Episode Details

Parents in Palo Alto are suing the school district over a controversial field trip to a mosque last year, claiming the district promoted Islam by encouraging students to wear religious attire, distribute Qurans, and discuss Islamic social justice teachings — actions they say violate California’s religious neutrality laws. The lawsuit, filed by a group of Jewish, Hindu, and Zoroastrian parents, alleges students also observed prayer, met with Quran memorization program participants, and heard a speaker known for inflammatory remarks about Jews. The district says it’s unaware of formal service and hasn’t verified claims yet, while the plaintiffs insist this case is about upholding separation of church and state — not targeting any religion.
