A New York school district will pay a student a paltry $1 in damages after he accused officials of prohibiting him from forming a Bible club.The Lindenhurst School District on Long Island denies it violated the unidentified student's civil rights, but agreed to settle the lawsuit. It also paid his $2,500 legal expenses.
The Central Islip, N.Y., district says that in March — a month after the suit was filed — Lindenhurst High School recognized the Bible club.
The district already shelled out $2,500 to the Arizona-based Alliance Defense Fund, which represented the student. The group files frequent lawsuits on issues involving Christianity and schools, gay marriage and other socially conservative topics.
