San Francisco Chronicle - Calif Bible Club Sues School District Over Fee

San Francisco Chronicle,

A Christian youth club sued an Orange County school district on Monday, saying the district's refusal to allow the group to use facilities free of charge violates its constitutional rights.

The American Center for Law and Justice, a Washington D.C.-based constitutional law advocacy group, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on behalf of the Good News Club, an affiliate of Child Evangelism Fellowship, against the Buena Park School District.

David French, senior counsel for the center, said the fellowship asked the district to use after-hours classroom space last spring and was told it would have to pay $4,255 annually because the meetings would be tantamount to religious services. . . .
