    Case 5:18-cv-00152 Document 1 Filed 02/07/18 Page 1 of 33 PageID #: 1 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA SHREVEPORT DIVISION DOES 1–4, Plaintiffs, Civil Action No. ________________________ v.

See Brown v. Board of Educ., 347 U.S. 483, 493 (1954). Religious differences abound in our Nation and in the State of Louisiana. Hence, most public schools eschew teaching religious doctrine or endorsing religious practices and instead respect students’ and their families’ beliefs and religious diversity, as our constitution requires. 2.
