Fighting back! Student sues high school to get religious freedom restored during ‘free-time’ hours

In a welcome twist on the usual story of atheists suing public schools to protect “the separation of church and state,” a Colorado high school student and a law firm specializing in freedom of religion cases are suing after administrators at the student’s school disbanded a student worship group that met at the school during free hours.

According to New American magazine and Fox News, the dispute arose this school year after Pine Creek High School administrators told him a group of students that had gathered in a choir teacher’s area during “home room” to pray and talk about their Christian faith.

This would be the third year Chase Windebank, now a senior at Pine Creek, has led the group. But this year, he was told the group could no longer meet because its presence was violating the constitutional “separation of church and state.”

The group numbered up to 90 students at times, but after the school ordered them to stop using the classroom space and school “home room” the number has dwindled to a handful.

Now Windebank, with the help of the Alliance for Defending Freedom law firm, is fighting back with a lawsuit to reclaim the space and the hours for its religious meetings. Along the way, it has picked up high-powered allies like Fox News columnist Todd Starnes and conservative columnist and entrepreneur Michelle Malkin.

Check out Wildebank’s ADF attorney making his case Saturday on “Fox and Friends.”
