Palo Alto School District Sued Over Mosque Field Trip
The complaint says students were given Qurans and hijabs and that a CAIR leader spoke without balance or supervision.
- Parents and former students have filed a federal lawsuit against Palo Alto Unified School District over a fall 2025 field trip to a Santa Clara mosque, alleging the visit crossed boundaries on religious neutrality.
- The lawsuit claims students in Palo Alto High School’s Social Justice Pathway were given Qurans, encouraged to wear hijabs and allowed to observe Muslim prayers, which plaintiffs say went beyond academic instruction about religion.
- Plaintiffs also allege that students’ photographs were posted online without appropriate parental consent and are seeking damages along with findings that the district failed to properly supervise the trip and protect privacy rights.
- District officials say they had not yet been formally served with the lawsuit and emphasized that district policy requires religion to be taught academically rather than devotionally, while mosque representative Zahra Billoo defended the trip as an educational and voluntary opportunity to learn about another faith.
