The students said they were required to attend an assembly held by the school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Students at a West Virginia high school were set to walk out Wednesday morning after they were sent to an evangelical Christian revival assembly during school hours.
During the assembly, students were encouraged to attend services at the nearby Christ Temple Church, where over 200 students were baptized. But some students said that one message heard during the event was that all nonbelievers would go to hell and that they needed to give their lives to God for salvation, according to the AP. Some students who expressed discomfort with the messaging were prohibited from leaving the sermon until it ended.
"It's a completely unfair and unacceptable situation to put a teenager in," said Bethany Felinton, whose Jewish son attempted to leave the event but was told no by his teacher, the AP reported."I'm not knocking their faith, but there's a time and place for everything—and in public schools, during the school day, is not the time and place."
