Students with a Fellowship of Christian Athletes club in Montana are examining their legal options after being given an ultimatum by the school district to disaffiliate with the national organization over its beliefs on sexuality.
Pandemic ‘slightly delayed’ negotiations
More than a year after it derecognized a Christian student group for murky reasons, a Montana high school has reinstated its Fellowship of Christian Athletes “huddle” as a non-curricular club.
Policy revisions by Bozeman Public Schools also ensure the club has equal access to resources and the capability to recruit new members, according to this week’s announcement by the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the club.
In an interview with
The College Fix, an alliance lawyer didn’t explain in detail why its negotiations with the school district took so long. It threatened legal action a year ago if the school district didn’t give the huddle the same rights and privileges as every other school club by Dec. 18, 2019.
