A religious nonprofit organization is suing Parkland School District in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, after Parkland High School deemed a pro-life student club too controversial and subsequently refused to approve its charter.

The national public interest law firm Thomas More Society filed a lawsuit against the school district, high school, and three administrators Tuesday after Elizabeth Castro and Grace Schairer submitted their proposal to the school in March and were rejected. The suit alleges that the school violated the federal Equal Access Act and First Amendment by failing to approve the club’s constitution, according to Lehigh Valley Live.
