9th Circuit Again Rejects Challenge To Cal State's Religious Studies Courses

In Lafreniere v. Board of Trustees of the California State University, (9th Cir., June 17, 2008), the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals summarily dismissed a claim that Cal State's use of taxpayer money to fund certain religious studies classes violates the Establishment Clause and California's False Claims Act. It concluded that the issues raised in the pro se appeal are identical to those it rejected in a 2006 decision.
