School district bans Christian group that allowed bobbing for goldfish

A Christian student group's latest attempt to show middle school students how fun the group could be was too much for school administrators to swallow.

Last week the Campus Life group allowed students to bob for live goldfish. Two students and one Campus Life volunteer swallowed fish.

No student was harmed or forced to participate, but some parents complained, and district officials weren't pleased.

The group's executive director, Bryan Carlson said the goldfish bobbing was designed to foster fellowship among the roughly 100 students who regularly attend. At previous meetings, races, relays and competitive eating contests have been used for that purpose.
