San Jose, CA (LifeNews.com) -- A leading pro-life law firm has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a pro-life student group in California after a local high school denied the organization the same access to privileges that all other student groups on campus enjoy. Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund say the pro-life students were victims of discrimination. In October, a student attending Westmont High School submitted a written request to school officials requesting to start a pro-life club. The club was denied official status along with all rights, benefits, and privileges that all other recognized student clubs receive. When she informed school officials that the club's official name would be "Live Action - Pro-Life Club," school officials allegedly denied the club any avenue to promote the club on campus. The student indicated authorities told her she couldn't tell other students about the existence of the club because it was 'too controversial." ADF attorneys filed a lawsuit and motion for preliminary injunction in federal court Monday against Westmont High School. "Public schools should recognize the constitutional rights of pro-life students just as they do for all other students," ADF senior counsel David Cortman told LifeNews.com about the case.
