Rehearing To Be Sought In 4th Circuit "Good News Club" Case

An Anderson (SC) School District will ask the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals to grant a rehearing in Child Evangelism Fellowship v. Anderson School District 5 (see prior posting). Last December, the court questioned the rule under which the school refused to waive a usage fee for religious Good News Club meetings. The court said that the rule did not give administrators sufficient guidelines to prevent content-based discrimination. Wednesday's Anderson Independent Mail says that the school's insurers recommended the petition for a rehearing.
