School District Forced to Allow Good News Clubs
July 20, 2023 | Rhode Island
A Rhode Island school district has agreed to allow a Good News Club chapter to meet at school properties as it settles a religious discrimination lawsuit.
Child Evangelism Fellowship of Rhode Island, the Evangelical Christian organization behind the Good News Clubs, entered into a consent order with Providence Public School District on Tuesday.
According to the order, the school district will allow the Christian student group “access to District facilities that is equal to and on the same terms as other similarly situated nonreligious organizations offering programs to students in the District.” (Excerpt from The Christian Post.)
