(Worthy News) – An Oregon school district is accused of forcing LGBTQ students to read the Bible for punishment.
The allegations are detailed in a March 6 letter from the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to North Bend School District Superintendent Bill Yester. The letter claims that a building administrator demanded that LGBTQ students read the Bible as a form of punishment.
