Hawaii Discontinues Online Learning Program Full of Religious Propaganda Following Warning Letter from American Atheists
Honolulu, HI—November 17, 2020—Today, church/state separation watchdog organization American Atheists praised the Hawaii Department of Education (HIDOE) for reviewing its online public school programs for religious, racist, and misogynistic content.
HIDOE ultimately decided to discontinue its use of the online education system, Acellus Learning Accelerator. This decision comes after American Atheists sent a letter to Christina M. Kishimoto, the state superintendent of HIDOE, warning her about religious propaganda in online curricula.
“This is a victory for the separation of religion and government. Hawaii public school students will no longer be subjected to unconstitutional religious, sexist, and racist propaganda,” said Alison Gill, Vice President for Legal and Policy at American Atheists.
