A New York school district violated federal law when it rejected a Christian student's request to start an on-campus Christian club, according to a nonprofit legal group representing the student.
First they wanted tolerance, and they got it. Then they wanted acceptance and they got that. More recently they demanded equality and were given that as well, but it didn't stop with mere equality. No, the
LGBTQ+P for Pedophile Mafia won't be satisfied with equality. They want dominance and control, and because of a
sleeping Laodicean Church they are getting that, too. Such is the case in the Wappingers Central School District, where being Christian seems to violate school policy.
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV)
Daniela Barca goes to
Ketcham High School in the Wappingers Central School District in New York, a school that has over 20 student activities clubs. They have one called the
LGBT Pride club that serves approximately less than 3% of the school body. The Christian club that Daniela wants to start in the Wappingers Central School District was turned down because it was deemed "too exclusive". Huh? Welcome to the logic of the end times.
New York public school rejects student Christian club, OKs LGBT Pride Club
FROM THE CHRISTIAN POST: The First Liberty Institute sent a
letter to Wappingers Central School District on Wednesday demanding that it approve freshman Daniela Barca’s application to form the “OMG! Christian Club” at Roy C. Ketcham High School.
The aim of the club, according to First Liberty Institute, is to offer “faith-based support” during biweekly student-initiated meetings where students have “discussions about living for God in a godless society.”
First Liberty Institute has accused school officials of stonewalling and slow walking approval of Barca’s proposal. Ultimately, the student's request was denied on grounds that a Christian club was too “exclusive” and that a public school could not support a religious club.
“The discrimination toward Daniela’s religious speech has prevented OMG from pursuing their community-wide goals of ‘food drives, clothing drives, Operation Christmas Child’ and other charitable endeavors,” the letter from First Liberty Institute counsel Keisha Russell states.
“Ketcham school officials blatantly ignored the plain text of the Equal Access Act of 1984 by rejecting Daniela’s Christian club because of its religious speech. The act has been unequivocal on this point for 35 years.”
The EAA states that it is unlawful for public secondary schools that receive federal assistance and have limited open forums to “deny equal access or fair opportunity” to students who wish to conduct a meeting within the open forum on the basis of “religious, political, philosophical, or other content of the speech at such meetings.”
According to Russell’s
letter, Barca contacted the school’s assistant principal on Sept. 5. She was told that the application submitted by her sponsoring teacher was lost. However, the teacher who agreed to sponsor the club told Barca on Sept. 10 that the form had been located.
Barca had three different meetings with Principal David Seipp, the letter states. Seipp reportedly informed Barca that he was denying the formation of the club on grounds that the school could not promote the club.
After Barca continued to press Seipp about the club, she was told that her club couldn’t be recognized because it would be “seen as exclusive.”
Barca’s father, William Barca, appealed the refusal to Assistant Superintendent for Compliance and Information Systems, Daren Lolkema, telling him in an email that his daughter wanted to start a club for her and other Christians to support each other in their beliefs.
However, Lolkema informed William Barca that the school district could not support a religious club that is not “completely unbiased to any and all religions.” Ketcham High School recognizes over 20 student clubs, including the LGBT rights student group called Pride Club.
