School policies banning LifeWise treats and trinkets opens them to lawsuits, attorney says

Texas-based First Liberty Institute, a conservative religious liberty nonprofit, contends in an April 16 letter that the policy group North East Ohio Learning Associates (NEOLA) has been providing model policies to school districts aimed at making it more difficult for LifeWise to operate. The model policy includes an option that prohibits religious release providers from giving students "materials, snacks, clothing, candies, trinkets, or other items for their return to school."
