Christian Group Sues Hicksville NY School District; District Refused to Allow a School Christian Club

A Christian group is suing a New York school district for a spot on a local high school's list of student clubs, the Christian Post website reports today (May 4, 2011).

The Frontline Club (FLC) -- a discipleship program based in South Carolina -- has brought the legal challenge against the Hicksville Union Free School District Board of Education, alleging that it has denied access to the school because the club is Christian in nature.

Without official recognition, FLC is not allowed to hold meetings, make announcements, or post its flyer on the campus.

The lawsuit reveals that Hicksville High School Principal Brijinder Singh told students appealing for the club, "Other schools may have a Christian club, but I don't want this in my school."
