Illinois Town Reverses Discriminatory Facility Policy Against Religious Groups

Oct 1, 2013

Today, Liberty Counsel and the Village of Plainfield reached a settlement of the federal lawsuit filed by Liberty Counsel after Plainfield unconstitutionally rejected Liberty Counsel’s application for use of town facilities.

In response to Liberty Counsel’s lawsuit, contending that Plainfield’s policies violate the First Amendment and unconstitutionally discriminate against religious viewpoints, the Village has agreed to allow Liberty Counsel’s program and to change its policies. Plainfield’s revised Community Room Policy now makes it clear that “The Village does not prohibit an applicant from presenting civic, cultural, educational or informational programs from a religious viewpoint.” In addition, the Village has agreed to pay Liberty Counsel’s attorney’s fees.

Today’s settlement should be a wake-up call to communities and towns across America that religious viewpoint discrimination is unconstitutional.
