• NJ lawsuit over Christian club at schools may have national impact (njspotlightnews.org) — Hopewell Valley Regional School District is facing a new federal lawsuit over how it treats religious student clubs, with potential implications for local middle and high school activities. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes claims the district unfairly restricted outside volunteers at its Hopewell Valley Central High and Timberlane Middle School clubs, while civil-liberties advocates argue the rules are needed to keep school religious groups student-led under federal law.
