After two years, Liberty Counsel has settled a dispute between the Orange County School Board in Florida and Child Evangelism Fellowship of Central Florida (CEF) regarding discriminatory treatment against the Christian organization. The school district had been charging CEF facility usage fees, while allowing free access to other groups such as the Boy Scouts. After receiving a demand letter from Liberty Counsel, the school district stopped charging CEF for access. The school board also adopted a new policy giving CEF equal access and refunded nearly $2,500 in prior fees collected under the unconstitutional policy. Liberty Counsel represents CEF of Central Florida, which offers its Good News Clubs after school.
After-school Good News Clubs teach children respect, good citizenship and moral values from a biblical viewpoint. Liberty Counsel has obtained victories for CEF in numerous states from coast to coast and frequently litigates when school districts do not correct unfair treatment of Good News Clubs.
