The school
principal at Cranford Elementary is charging the Good News Club $69.50 a month
for use of its facility, Liberty Counsel claims in its lawsuit. The club did
not pay a fee during the 2011-2012 school year but was charged during the
2012-2013 year. “And consequently in 2012 the club had to close because they
couldn’t afford this fee,” says Staver, who calls the charge a “discriminatory
fee” because it was not charged to other organizations.
Staver is
confident that Liberty Counsel will win this case because of a perfect track
record in defending CEF clubs. “We’ve never ultimately lost a Good News Club
case when it’s gone into litigation,” says Staver. Cases lost at the local
level were overturned during appeals, he says. Child Evangelism Fellowship has
been providing religious and moral education to children for 70 years. Faith on Trial is where we examine the influence of law and society on people of faith.
