Liberty Legal and the DOJ

An article in today's Texas Lawyer explores the success of the Liberty Legal Institute in getting attention from the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division for its clients' free exercise of religion claims. The article also reviews at length the present status of Liberty Legal's claim against the Plano Texas Independent School District. The controversy stems for an incident in which a public school prohibited a third-grader from distributing candy cane pens bearing a religious message at a class party.
