SummaryIn this episode of the Christian Principals Podcast, hosts Mark Zockoll and Matt George engage with Claire Dant, a seasoned Christian school principal from Bethel Christian Academy. Claire shares her journey through the challenges of managing a school during the COVID-19 pandemic and navigating the complexities of the BOOST program, which aimed to provide educational opportunities for low-income families. The conversation delves into the legal and ethical dilemmas faced by the school when state requirements conflicted with their religious beliefs, leading to a significant legal battle. Claire's steadfast commitment to her principles and the support from her community highlight the resilience and faith-driven leadership that define her role.KeywordsChristian Principals PodcastBethel Christian AcademyClaire DantBOOST programCOVID-19 pandemicReligious freedomLitigationEducationNon-discriminationAlliance Defending FreedomSoundbitesIntroduction to Claire Dant: "We're so blessed and excited to have with us Ms. Dant, an expert witness for us tonight."Claire's Background: "I've been at Bethel Christian Academy for almost 25 years...
