Good News Club Sues Georgia School District For Equal Access

Liberty Counsel announced yesterday that it has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Good News Clubs against the Cobb County, Georgia School District. The lawsuit charges that the school district has engaged in illegal viewpoint discrimination by imposing higher fees for the organization to use school facilities after school than is charged to secular groups. The lawsuit also claims discrimination in access times. Secular groups are permitted to meet immediately after school, while the Good News Club cannot meet until 5:45 p.m. This significantly reduces student attendance.
