U.S. Supreme Court will consider First Amendment rights of Christian club

By Alliance Alert

Christian Examiner: "The U.S. Supreme Court?which will review a religious discrimination case brought by a Christian legal society from San Francisco college of law?has received nearly two dozen legal briefs supporting the student club . . . 'Just as all student groups have the right to associate with people who share common beliefs and interests, Christian student groups have the right to be Christian student groups,' said [Gregory S. Baylor], senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund. 'Requiring leaders of a Christian club to live by a Christian code of conduct is no different than an environmentalist club requiring its leaders not to be lumberjacks.'" | For more information on the case see the ADF Alliance Alert case tag: http://www.alliancealert.org/wordpress/tag/zz-christian-legal-society-v-martinez/
