Two months after a lawsuit was filed against Washington Elementary School District, WESD's board voted to enter a new agreement with Arizona Christian University on Wednesday.The lawsuit was filed by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys after the school district decided to end its 11-year student-teacher program with the university.During a board meeting Wednesday, four of five members voted to resolve the lawsuit.
“By discriminating against Arizona Christian University and denying it an opportunity to participate in the student-teacher program because of its religious status and beliefs, the school district was in blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution, not to mention state law that protects ACU’s religious freedom,” said ADF Senior Counsel and Vice President of U.S. Litigation David Cortman, who argued in federal district court on behalf of ACU.
The new agreement, according to ADF's release, will be able to be renewed annually for an additional five years.
