CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) - A New York school district has reportedly settled a lawsuit filed by a student who said officials refused to let him form a Bible club.
The Lindenhurst School District, on Long Island, denies it violated the unidentified student's civil rights. However, the Union-Sun & Journal reports school officials have agreed to pay him nominal damages of $1.
The district says that in March, a month after the lawsuit was filed, Lindenhurst High School recognized the Bible club. The district also has paid $2,500 for legal expenses to the Arizona-based Alliance Defense Fund, which represented the student.
The group files frequent lawsuits on issues involving Christianity and schools.
