The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) filed a lawsuit Thursday against a Louisiana school after the Fellowship of Christian Athletes club was denied access to school buses. The school grants non-religious clubs access to the buses.
ADF Senior Counsel David Cortman said Calcasieu Parish Public Schools can’t deny transportation to an event simply because the club and event have a religious affiliation.
“Christian student groups shouldn’t be discriminated against because of their beliefs,” Cortman said. “All student groups have the same First Amendment rights, and schools cannot deny benefits to one club while granting the same benefits to another.”
