'One of the most egregious examples of government religious discrimination'

A new student-led Bible club has been approved at a school in California after seven months of "anti-Christian hostility" from school officials.

The report comes from Dean Broyles, of the National Center for Law & Policy, which wrote to school officials explaining the students' right to have their own club in the Oceanside Unified School District.

"This flagrant mistreatment and abuse of these courageous religious student leaders and other OHS students who desire to participate in the A-Team Bible Club is one of the most egregious examples of government anti-Christian religious discrimination and hostility that I have seen in my nearly thirty years of practicing law," Broyles explained.

He cited the opposition from OHS ASB cashier and clerk Robbin Pollard.

"Pollard’s actions and communications towards these Christian students were arbitrary, capricious and discriminatory. Such state anti-religious bigotry is unacceptable and is unlawful. But this is precisely what happens when the state delegates too much unchecked discretionary government power to a single ‘gatekeeper,’ who either does not know the law or does not care to abide by it. The OHS ASB, particularly Pollard, owes these student leaders an apology."

The court decision(s) concerning this and similar questions are 4 or 5 decades old, yet multiple @#$% like this happens annually. Ignorance was replaced by defiance a couple of decades ago, IMO.

Exactly. Are school officials really that stupid, or are they incredibly hostile to Christians?
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

Yeah, I know. It really was more of a rhetorical question than anything.
