Marisol Arroyo-Castro, who taught at DiLoreto Elementary & Middle School in New Britain, Conn., has gone to federal court to contest a directive by her bosses to remove a crucifix from her classroom.
Arroyo-Castro’s lawsuit, filed in a Connecticut federal court, claims that by ordering her to remove the crucifix, school district officials ignored religious freedom protections set out in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
