New York Investigation Into "Christian Skate Time" Dropped

Last week, the New York Division of Human Rights dropped its inquiry into Christian Music Skate Time at an Accord, New York skating rink. (See prior posting.) The Middletown (NY)Times Herald-Record reported last week that the investigation, which had garnered national attention, was dropped after the rink explained that the skating events were open to everyone, but merely featured Christian music. Also, the rink changed the advertised name from "Christian Skate" to "spiritual skate". [Thanks to Media Law Prof Blog for the information.]
