The right of evangelical Christians to have a student athletic club at a San Jose, California, high school has been affirmed in federal court for the second time in a little over a year.
, California, high school has been affirmed in federal court for the second time in a little over a year.as a recognized student group after one social studies teacher balked, saying the organization’s views on marriage were “bulls—-.”
Under the club’s rules, all students are welcome to participate in events and join as members. But chapter leaders must affirm the religious beliefs found in FCA’s “Statement of Faith,” which reflect traditional evangelical views of the authority of the Bible, Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life.
A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit found last September that the district “engaged in selective enforcement of its own non-discrimination policy, penalizing FCA while looking the other way with other secular student groups that maintained facially discriminatory membership criteria.”
