Controversies In 2022 Atchison was named as one of at least three local politicians for whom students at Legacy Christian Academy school (then Christian Centre Academy) were coerced into campaigning for. Although Atchison was not a member of the affiliated Saskatoon Christian Centre church, it has been alleged that he had a close relationship with the church's director, Keith Johnson, who has been named in a class action lawsuit by former student's seeking redress for allegations of child abuse. Former students have alleged that they were also required to purchase two pairs of pants each year from Atchison's men's wear store.
