Las Vegas teenager Angelique Clark and the Thomas More Society have\u00a0announced<\/a> a new development in their victorious battle to allow a pro-life club at West Career and Technical Academy.<\/p>\n

Live Action News reported<\/a> in September that the Clark County School District relented from their initial refusal to allow Clark to start an organization for pro-life students. Administrators had initially told her abortion was too controversial and too complicated for a high-school sophomore to handle. In response, Thomas More attorneys accused the district of violating Clark’s free speech rights.Now, Thomas More has confirmed that the district will pay the pro-life, religious liberty law firm $30,000 in legal fees.<\/p>\n

“This settlement is a victory not only for Angelique and her pro-life club, but for all students who wish to speak out or form clubs to address issues that they\u2019re facing,” Thomas More Associate Counsel Jocelyn Floyd said.<\/p>\n

In addition, the school board has formally revised<\/a> its rules for student clubs, promising equal access to hold student-led meetings during non-class time, without discriminating against the subjects’ religious, political, or philosophical content.<\/p>\n

“Never back down from administration,” Angelique said of the lesson she hopes her fellow pro-life teens across the nation take from the experience. “It’s a misconception that students have different [First Amendment] rights than anyone else.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
