USA: ban lifted

Ward Melville High School in New York has reversed its decision to ban students from forming a Christian community service club, it was reported on 14 October.

The Long Island school had previously banned Students United in Faith from gathering but, after a public outcry, the club will meet like other school clubs do.

Benefitting the local community

Ward Melville students John Raney and Jeremy Johnson formed Students United in Faith with the intention of creating a space where students with similar beliefs could gather and plan service projects to benefit the local community. Club members joined with the Liberty Institute to fight the school’s ban. A lawsuit was avoided, but attorneys did persuade the school administration to allow Students United in Faith to meet.
