School Bans Christian Songs From Talent Show — Then Reverses Course

A Michigan elementary school has reversed course after reportedly banning at least one student from performing Christian music at a talent show.

First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit legal firm that defends Christian and conservative values, said West Ward Elementary in Allegan, Michigan, initially wouldn't allow two students to perform songs by Christian artists Colton Dixon and Brandon Lake.

Educators reportedly told the student in question that the lyrics for the songs were too "Christian-based." But that changed after First Liberty sent a letter to administrators, and officials reversed course.
