CNN.com - Dallas schools sued over religious e-mail - August 2, 2002

A school district employee (her exact job isn't said) sent an email to friends pushing W's ridiculous national day of prayer. The school district said this was inappropriate and threatened to suspend her email privileges if she did it again. I've got to side with the religious zealots here -- at least given the information in the AP story -- and say that the school district stepped over the line. If some private use of email is allowed, you can't say that she can't use it to send religious messages to her friends. If she was spamming people and making it look official, or sending it to everyone on the system like people at my (religiously affiliated) employer do, that would be a different matter.
