An Illinois school district has been accused of mistreating Good News Club chapters by imposing stricter access restrictions than those for secular student clubs.
Moline-Coal Valley School District was accused of unlawfully banning the Christian student clubs in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Rock Island Division.
