California public schools will no longer be teaching students to recite Aztec and Yoruba prayers as part of the state’s Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, the Thomas More Society reported Sunday, explaining that their attorneys have obtained a settlement in a lawsuit brought by parents and the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, against the State of California, its Board of Education, and Department of Education.

“We filed the lawsuit after we discovered that California’s Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, a resource guide for local school districts, included prayer to Aztec gods – the same deities that were invoked when the Aztecs worshipped with human sacrifices,” Thomas More Society Special Counsel Paul Jonna, partner at LiMandri & Jonna LLP said.
