A Minnesota federal judge has ruled in favor of Child Evangelism Fellowship of Minnesota (CEF) in a lawsuit filed by Liberty Counsel against Elk River Area School District #728. The judge issued a preliminary injunction finding that the district's policy, which discriminates against Christian groups, is unconstitutional.
Liberty Counsel filed the lawsuit to challenge a school district policy that did not allow CEF to distribute literature and participate in school events to promote its after-school Good News Clubs. The Boy Scouts and other patriotic and community service organizations were permitted to distribute their literature and promote their groups to the students.
Liberty Counsel has represented numerous CEF groups in similar cases all across America and we thank God that we have never lost a case. Good News Clubs are a tremendous way to reach children with a positive message.
