California Parents Sue School District Over Mosque Field Trip A group of Jewish, Hindu and Zoroastrian parents and students is suing California’s Palo Alto Unified School District over a 2025 school trip to the Muslim Community Association mosque in Santa Clara. The federal lawsuit alleges students were given Qurans, female students were encouraged to wear hijabs and the group observed Islamic prayers. The plaintiffs argue the trip crossed the line from education into religious advocacy. The district has not addressed the allegations in detail and says its policy is to teach about religion academically, not devotionally. The case remains pending in federal court.
