(Article republished from DecisionMagazine.com) Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) in Aurora, Illinois, requires that all their students complete the program in order to graduate. According to the school’s “Safe Zone Facilitator Guide,” students must agree to both “stay engaged” and “experience discomfort” while participating in the program. The program also rewards those who affirm the LGBTQ community and want to serve as an “ally” with a special sticker and pin. Marcail McBride asked the school for a religious accommodation allowing her to forego the class, but IMSA officials told her she would need to complete the program by Jan. 30 or risk disciplinary action.
