Texas A&M: Christian club may remain Christian Letter from ADF attorneys results in recognition of student club
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — After receiving a letter from the Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom written on behalf of a Christian student club, Texas A&M officials agreed Thursday to continue recognizing the group as an official university student organization without forcing it to abandon its core beliefs and purpose. The university agreed with ADF attorneys that forcing Freshman Leaders in Christ (FLiC) to open its membership to non-Christians–or lose its recognized status on campus–would violate the group’s constitutional rights. Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link: http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/2959 ADF is a legal alliance of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations defending the right of people to freely live out their faith. Launched in 1994, ADF employs a unique combination of strategy, training, funding, and litigation to protect and preserve religious liberty, the sanctity of life, marriage, and the family.
