MA: Group threatens suit over Chelmsford school’s holiday fundraiser
Lowell Sun: “In a letter to Superintendent of Schools Donald Yeoman and Byam School Principal Jane Gilmore, the Liberty Council states that it will file a lawsuit against the school district if changes aren’t made to Byam’s annual fundraiser. The council, a nonprofit litigation group dedicated to advancing religious freedom and conservative values, said the basis of the lawsuit would be ‘viewpoint discrimination’ under the First Amendment . . . Last month, the Alliance Defense Fund, a socially conservative legal consortium also interested in the Byam case, sent their own letter to the school district asking that it change the gift-room policy. However, the group told The Sun that it had no plans to file a lawsuit.”
