A federal appeals court ruled that a Minneapolis school district engaged in viewpoint discrimination when it removed the Good News Club, sponsored by Child Evangelism Fellowship, from the after-school program. Minneapolis Special School District No. 1 must reinstate the club.
Overturning a lower court decision, in a 3-0 decision on Thursday the court of appeals stated, “When the government targets a particular viewpoint taken by speakers on a general subject, the First Amendment is violated,” stated Liberty Counsel officials, who represented CEF in the case.
