Great news over at Stacy's site this morning. Liberty Counsel has won a court victory for Child Evangelism Fellowship. Apparently the Anderson School District in South Carolina was charging them for the use of facilities for after school Good News Clubs. However, they waived the fee whenever it was 'in the best interest of the district.' ie. 'Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA, Students Against Destructive Decisions, the local Democratic Party.' I love that last one -- of course the school district would think the local Democratic Party was in its best interest!

The court said, in part:

"government may not bar religious perspectives on otherwise permitted subjects ... [and] communities of faith may not be arbitrarily excluded from the protections of the Free Speech Clause ... Government need not fear an Establishment Clause violation from allowing religious groups to speak under the same reasonable, viewpoint-neutral terms as other private parties ... In sum, speech is not to be selectively permitted or proscribed according to official preference." 

The school district has been ordered to pay almost $100,000 in attorney's fees and costs. Well done Liberty Counsel!
