Va. town says church school prohibited because disabled kids would ‘endanger’ other children
ADF attorneys file suit against city of Fredericksburg
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed a federal lawsuit Monday against the city of Fredericksburg for its refusal to allow a church to begin a school program for mentally and emotionally challenged children despite a recommendation of approval by city planning officials. ADF attorneys say the city is violating federal laws geared expressly to avoid such a prohibition and that the city’s reasons for denial of a permit are baseless.
Case Name: Calvary Christian Church v. City of Fredericksburg
