Friend,



Many people cannot even believe what Christian
students experience in schools today.



Clubs shut down. Disparagement of their faith.
Punishment for speaking about their values.



Will you help Christian Legal Society
encourage Christian students across America to stand firm in
their faith and not be swayed by radical, anti-religious-freedom
peers, professors, and administrators?





















Stand with Christian students





















In San Jose, California, school district officials
revoked recognition of Fellowship of Christian Athlete (FCA)
student groups after a faculty member disparaged the
organization's traditional religious beliefs.



Yet the school district granted full recognition to
the Satanic Temple Club ... and facilitated the harassment of FCA
students!



Gathering outside of FCA meetings, Satanic Temple
students yelled at-and maligned the faith of-the young Christian
athletes. During one meeting, with the support of faculty, they
even attempted to enter and disrupt the FCA gathering.



These are the battles that Christian students face,
simply to live according to biblical beliefs.



Let these young Americans know that you
support their religious freedom and are praying for them as they
stand up for their biblical values. Please, %FIRST%, sign this
open letter of support for Christian students from Christian
Legal Society today.





















Stand with Christian students





















For over 60 years, Christian Legal Society student
chapters and other religious student organizations have
frequently encountered problems in becoming-or
remaining-recognized student organizations.



Christian Legal Society (CLS) has provided legal
defense for student ministries that face wrongful punishment or
prohibition at their schools, whether that be in an elementary
school or on a college campus.



On behalf of the FCA students in San Jose-whose
story I just shared with you-CLS filed a complaint in federal
court against the San Jose Unified School District and certain
individual school officials, which resulted in a lengthy legal
battle.



Four years after the school district revoked
recognition of the Fellowship of Christian Athlete student
groups, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of FCA,
finding that the district violated the Free Exercise Clause of
the First Amendment.



Brave students, like those in San Jose, endure
attacks on their faith from fellow students and the teachers who
should be encouraging freedom of thought. Please help us to
encourage Christian students to stay strong in the face of
adversity!



While I wish this were an isolated incident, it is
instead a pattern of attacks on Christian students and student
groups across America.



That is why Christian Legal Society has been-and
continues to be-instrumental in protecting religious freedom.



We represented three students and a professor
when the University of Idaho issued non-contact orders
against them after a CLS student respectfully explained that
marriage between one man and one woman is the only view that the
Bible affirms. The federal court's ruling restored the rights of
the students and the professor to speak in a manner consistent
with their religious beliefs.





We stood with a chapter of faith-based sorority
Sigma Alpha Omega (SAO) at the University of West Georgia when
school administrators tried to force them to adopt the school's
nondiscrimination policy, which would have required them to
violate their Christian convictions on sexuality and gender.
Because of their biblical stance, SAO students faced exclusion
from an important activities fair at the school, but when CLS
attorneys advocated for their right to religious freedom, the
administration immediately relented and fully reinstated them.





And, on the federal level, this
administration's Department of Education has fought to rescind
regulations that protect religious student organizations who are
being targeted, and we've been fighting back by submitting
comments explaining why the proposed regulations should not be
approved.



%FIRST%, despite the adversity they face,
Christian students across America are standing strong ... and
winning the battle for religious freedom and the Constitution.
Please sign our open letter of support right now to show that you
stand with them.























Stand with Christian students





















These attacks against Christian students are coming
from all angles-fellow students and professors, their schools,
the state, and the federal government.



Students in faith-based clubs and ministries at
public schools, colleges, and universities across our nation need
to know that this battle for religious freedom is much bigger
than just one campus or one student group.



Please send a word of encouragement to these
Christian students today, and please pray for them to remain
strong in their faith.
