The Freedom From Religion Foundation of Madison, Wisconsin has sued the Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction and a public school district in Rio, Wisconsin, for providing a Christian ministry equal access to meet in school facilities free of charge.

Liberty Counsel has now filed a motion to intervene in the case, in order to defend the constitutional rights of the ministry, Child Evangelism Fellowship of Wisconsin (CEF). CEF sponsors the Good News Club for children ages 5 to 12 and also sponsors the Party Club, which is a monthly after-school function for students to enjoy games, crafts, songs, Bible lessons, and scripture memorization.

The Rio School Board policy allows all nonprofit organizations, including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and CEF, to use school facilities free of charge. After receiving a threatening letter from FFRF, the school district refused to give in to pressure. Liberty Counsel is siding with the school district against the erroneous claims of FFRF.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation pushes the most antireligious agenda of any organization in the country. The goal of the Foundation is a completely religion-free society. We will continue to vigorously oppose their agenda!
