Pa. school district settles with Christian group

| | Comments (0)

A lawsuit that challenged a Pennsylvania school district policy about after-school Bible club meetings has been settled.

The Good News Club was prevented from sending fliers home with students promoting after-school religious meetings, according to their law firm, the Alliance Defense Fund. The school had said the fliers violated the separation of church and state.

In dismissing the lawsuit (Child Evangelism Fellowship of Pennsylvania, Inc. v. School District of Haverford Township), the court said the district agreed to treat the club the same as other community groups and to pay the plaintiffs' attorney's fees.
