Six students and four parents are suing the Hawaii Department of
Education and Superintendent of Education for sponsoring a
telephone hot-line referral service known as "Teen-Line," which they
say played pre-recorded counseling messages on various subjects,
including religion, sexuality and drugs.
"The common advice given to children who call the service is that
children are free to disregard parental instruction and instead make
up their own minds as to what they will choose to do. The public
school has no business giving students that instruction," said Jim
Hochberg, a Christian attorney handling the case.
He told the Evangelical Press Service that the court has granted a
temporary restraining order prohibiting employees of the
Department of Education or any of their agents from distributing
Teen-Line promotional materials on school grounds during
instructional time.
"Taken as a whole the messages contained in the 'Teen-Line'
counseling tapes present information to children from an authority
figure, sponsored, promoted, endorsed and supported statewide by
public schools, which undercuts certain sincerely held religious beliefs
of parents regarding the religious and moral values which they seek to
instill in their children, and fails to advise the children that state law
requires minors to obey the lawful instruction of their parents," states
the complaint against school officials.
