A Wisconsin high school is facing potential legal action after a student says it barred her from including a Bible verse in graduation materials. Sarianne Beronja, a 2026 graduate of Arrowhead High School in the Waukesha County area, says she submitted Proverbs 3:6 as her personal message. She alleges the verse was rejected abruptly the night before the commencement ceremony. According to reports, the message was intended to appear beside her photo in a slideshow that plays during the graduation event. The school’s decision is said to be based on a school-sponsored speech policy. The student’s claim is that the policy was applied in a way that prevented her from including the scripture she submitted. The Daily Mail reports the school is threatened with a lawsuit, while Fox News and the New York Post describe the allegation and the same general circumstances. The reports do not include a response from the school in the provided material. The dispute centers on whether the school’s policy restricts religious or faith-based messages in graduation displays and what standard is applied to student-submitted content.
