ADF comment on UNC-Greensboro's response to Christian club's lawsuit
Wednesday, Mar 14, 2012
The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defense Fund Legal Counsel Jeremy Tedesco regarding the University of North Carolina-Greensboro’s claim that it will grant recognition to a Christian club in the wake of a recent lawsuit:
“Public university officials step over the line when they decide to become theologians instead and declare that a Christian club isn’t really religious. It is good to hear that UNC-Greensboro wants to right this wrong after more than 10 months of violating the club’s constitutionally protected rights. The university must make changes to its policies to make sure this does not happen again in the future. The lawsuit will continue until an acceptable policy change is made.”
