Liberty Counsel appeared to in federal court in Norfolk, Virginia, on behalf of Child Evangelism Fellowship of Virginia (CEF); requesting an injunction against the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools.

The school board charges CEF a facilities usage fee for holding its after-school Good News Clubs, while granting free use to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other organizations. The fee is a discriminatory burden on CEF that prevents the Good News Clubs from expanding to all the schools in the district.

The United States Supreme Court has already ruled that Good News Clubs must have the same access to school facilities as other after-school programs. Liberty Counsel has won victories for CEF in numerous states from coast to coast and frequently litigates when school districts do not reverse unequal treatment of Good News Clubs.

We do not know how long the judge will take to rule in this case, but we will keep you informed. Please pray for success so that Good News Clubs can continue to expand in Virginia.
