A rural elementary school in Florida disbanded its Fellowship of Christian Athletes club after the Freedom from Religion Foundation complained. The school district agreed to disband the club, citing concerns about violating students' First Amendment rights.

  • FFRF argued that elementary students are too young to run a religious club independently
  • The school district disbanded the club to avoid any perception of endorsing religious activities
  • First Liberty Institute criticized the school district for caving into FFRF's pressure
