Minneapolis settles lawsuit over wrongful termination of Christian psychologist
City of Minneapolis severed relationship with psychologist
MINNEAPOLIS — A Christian psychologist represented by the Alliance Defense Fund has agreed to a substantial settlement from the city of Minneapolis after it unconstitutionally terminated its relationship with him because he had ties to a pro-family organization. The Minneapolis City Council approved the settlement on Friday. ADF attorneys filed the lawsuit Campion v. City of Minneapolis in September 2007. The city “suspended” Dr. Michael Campion, a psychologist who performed employment testing for the city, shortly after city officials learned of his affiliation with a conservative Christian organization, the Illinois Family Institute.
