Aug 29, 2012

A federal appeals court ruled today that the Minneapolis Special School District No. 1 engaged in viewpoint discrimination when it removed Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) from the after-school program. Overturning a lower court decision, in a 3-0 decision the court of appeals stated, “When the government targets a particular viewpoint taken by speakers on a general subject, the First Amendment is violated.” Liberty Counsel represented CEF in this case.

The only rationale for discrimination against Good News Clubs is ignorance of the law or animosity toward the Christian message.  The law is crystal clear. Christian viewpoints are constitutionally protected. Public schools must provide equal access for Christian viewpoints and Christian clubs. The federal appeals court nailed every point of this case exactly right.
