NY school official’s denial of student club is the definition of hostility toward religion and is patently illegal
Daniela Barca is a 14-year-old freshman at Roy C. Ketcham High School, outside of Wappingers Falls, New York. This school year, Daniela sought to form a student club at her school. Daniela simply wants to form a club so those who share her faith can express who they are and encourage each other, but school officials refuse to follow the law and approve her club because it is religious. First Liberty Institute contacted the school superintendent demanding that the school system follow the law and allow Daniela and other religious students to form clubs.
