First Liberty Institute, a legal organization in Texas dedicated to religious liberty, has asked the superintendent of Steamboat Springs High School, located in Colorado, to protect the conscience rights of students and parents, and honor school protocol about how teachers present graphic subject material in class.

First Liberty sent a lengthy letter to the superintendent of Steamboat Springs describing an instance this fall regarding curriculum in a high school literature class that disturbed at least one student and violated routine school district protocol about introducing graphic material to young, malleable minds.
