NY school official’s denial of student club is the definition of hostility toward religion and is patently illegal
Daniela Barca is a 14-year-old freshman at Roy C. Ketcham High School, outside of Wappingers Falls, New York. This school year, Daniela sought to form a student club at her school. Daniela simply wants to form a club so those who share her faith can express who they are and encourage each other, but school officials refuse to follow the law and approve her club because it is religious. First Liberty Institute contacted the school superintendent demanding that the school system follow the law and allow Daniela and other religious students to form clubs.
For decades, a free-standing nativity has been part of the Christmas holiday tradition in the town circle in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Most recently and for many years the crèche was owned and placed by a local public service club. But last year the City ordered the crèche removed. The City said its policy is that the crèche cannot be placed on the town circle or other public property because the crèche is religious. But this is a clear violation of the First Amendment. First Liberty Institute has urged the City to reverse its recent blanket ban of the nativity from any city property.
