Good News Club v. Milford Central School
Supreme Court of the United States
Decided June 11, 2001No. 99-2036PublishedCited by 600 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Thomas
This case presents two questions. The first question is whether Milford Central School violated the free speech rights of the Good News Club when it excluded the Club from meeting after hours at the school. The second question is whether any such violation is justified by Milford’s concern that permitting the Club’s activities would violate the Establishment Clause. We conclude that Milford’s restriction violates the Club’s free speech rights and that no Establishment Clause concern justifies that violation.
