A state raid on a Christian school in northern California by 16 California Highway Patrol officers, two canine units and 17 social workers happened when authorities were duped by an "internet rumor" that the school housed illegal drugs, stockpiled weapons, and was "preparing for an end-times apocalypse."
The arguments appeared to be making progress until they ran up against Shasta County Superior Court Judge Tamara Woods, who said the state's demand to close the school had First Amendment implications.
