Long Island High School Discriminates Against Christian Students Again

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

Officials with a high school in Long Island, New York that was caught discriminating against Christian students last year has been caught doing it again.

Ward Melville High School told John Raney, 17, that he could not have a Christian club as part of the clubs at the school last year.  Raney had founded Students United In Faith, a service-oriented Christian group.  When the Liberty Institute stepped in, the school Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich reversed the decision and apologized.

Now that the spotlight was off, the school is trying to discriminate against Christian students again.

The school’s Assistant Principal, ironically named Christian Losee, is trying to keep the Christians from having a group this year because of alleged lack of interest and “financial limitations.”  However, the school approved four new clubs.

The Liberty Institute was surprised the school would try again to discriminate against Christian students and is taking action.

“This is not a complicated issue,” Sasser wrote. “Simply put, public schools cannot discriminate against religious clubs and must treat them equally, and provide them equal access to school facilities, as non-religious clubs.”
