Jewish, Hindu, Zoroastrian parents sue California school district over mosque field trip

Jewish, Hindu, and Zoroastrian parents have filed a lawsuit against a California school district following a student field trip to a local mosque. The plaintiffs allege that during the visit, students were encouraged to wear Islamic attire and were exposed to religious advocacy.

The legal challenge centers on the boundaries of religious expression and state-sponsored activities within public education. The parents contend that the field trip's activities crossed the line from educational exposure into religious promotion, raising concerns regarding the constitutional separation of church and state.
