(Worthy News) – A Christian student at a New York high school was prevented from forming a Christian club when the principal told her it would be “seen as exclusive,” her requests to the school administration to form the club repeatedly denied over 4 months.

Ketcham high school freshman Daniela Barca was represented by First Liberty Institute, a Christian legal firm, which claimed the school was in violation of the federal Equal Access Act that takes funding from schools if they are found to keep students from meeting on the basis of “religious, political, philosophical, or other content of the speech at such meetings.”

“The school district celebrates diversity and the right to express who you are. All I want is to be allowed to express who I am,” Barca wrote in a September letter to the school, which has a Pride Club (GSA) and a club for miming.

Keisha Russel from First Liberty Institute called it a case of “purposeful, intentional religious discrimination.”
