Alabama School Sued On Behalf of Good News Clubs

In Alabama yesterday, Liberty Counsel filed suit against the Gadsden City School District for its refusal to permit Good News Clubs to meet on school premises. Liberty Counsel says that School Superintendent Rob Russell refused to respond to letters, telephone calls and e-mails seeking a meeting about use of school facilities on an equal basis with other groups. Good News Clubs hold meetings after school for elementary school children and teach them Bible lessons, character development, interpersonal skills and moral values.
