A California nonprofit that provides after-school Christian teaching and leadership training to Bay Area elementary students is suing the Oakland school district, accusing its leaders of religious discrimination for denying the group access to school facilities.

Oakland school leaders told the Christian group that it couldn’t provide after-school programming in part because they are “not in support of Evangelism on our campus” and they “cannot have [Bible] clubs” in their schools, according to the lawsuit.
