Good News Club Sues Minnesota School District

Yesterday, Child Evangelism Fellowship of Minnesota filed a federal lawsuit against Minnesota's Elk River Area School District alleging that the school district discriminated against its Good News Club--a faith based after-school program for elementary students teaching citizenship and character development from a Biblical viewpoint. A release by Liberty Counsel says that Good News Clubs were not allowed to distribute literature to students or to take part in the district's open house that features various programs, even though the Boy Scouts and other service organizations were permitted to do so.
