Phoenix School Gets OK to Pass Out Rel. Fliers; Policy Reversal Aids Rel. After-School Program

The Christian Post website reports today (April 27, 2012) that students at an elementary school in Phoenix, Arizona will be allowed to pass out fliers promoting a Good News Club after-school  program, as the result of a settlement between district officials and a Christian lawyers' association.

The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) announced yesterday that the Dysart Unified School District -- which had rejected the fliers because of their "religious nature" last January -- had reversed its decision.

"A Christian organization should have the same right to publicize its voluntary meetings as other groups do," said ADF Legal Counsel Jeremy Tedesco.

The purpose of the Good News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of Jesus and establish them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.
