Today Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Victory Through Jesus Ministry Foundation against Lee’s Summit School District. Victory Through Jesus Ministry Foundation offers Victory Soccer Camp (VSC), a Christian summer sports camp program, throughout the Midwest.
The District refused to include the soccer camp’s flyers along with other information given to students about community activities for youth and discriminated against VSC by allowing other nonprofit organizations, including another local soccer program, to be promoted through take-home flyers placed in the students’ backpacks.
The District’s censorship of the camp’s flyers is unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination and violates the First Amendment when it discriminates against certain after-school programs on the basis of the program’s sponsor.
Religious speech is not an orphan to the First Amendment. These are simple and settled concepts. What the educators did not learn in college and refused to learn through a demand letter, they will now learn in court.
