Faith-Based Group Wins Right to Meet After Hours in Classrooms

A faith-based group will be able to meet after hours in classrooms free of charge under a settlement with the Cobb County school system. The school system has agreed to allow nonprofit groups to use classrooms free under the agreement ending a lawsuit filed last month by Child Evangelism Fellowship. The group accused the suburban Atlanta district of violating the First Amendment by charging it to hold after-school meetings in classrooms while allowing other organizations, such as the Boy Scouts, to use the space free of charge.
