MATTAWAN – Mattawan Consolidated School has requested a federal court to dismiss the lawsuit filed by a former bus driver last year.
A 34-page response was recently drafted in response to a lawsuit claiming religious discrimination after the driver, Sarah Robinson, was fired for giving out holiday candy bags to students, some of which contained Christian messaging.
Robinson was fired in April 2025. Last December, she filed a 12-page complaint with the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan. In the lawsuit, she noted that students were not pressured to take the candy.
