Students' Rights

Questions Regarding Students' Rights

Partnering with Alliance Defending Freedom, ADF has developed a support network for those students, parents and teachers facing legal challenges on their campuses. FCA has the legal right to meet on high school and college campuses across the country where other student-led groups meet as well. Students have religious rights to FCA meetings on many campuses around the country.

Please review the free handbook below and contact the ADF if needed.

What Are Your Rights

Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFFR) demands schools to eliminate chaplains and coaches stop talking to the players about faith. What are today’s coaches of faith to do?

FCA’s legal department has put together a Students Rights Q&A Handbook that is clear and very helpful for coaches and students. 

The key words are: voluntary, student initiated, and lead/supervised by a coach or teacher, but non-participatory.

Peter and John were commanded to stop talking about Jesus almost 2000 years ago. Thus, they called the apostles back in and commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.

But Peter and John replied, “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.” -- Acts 4:18-20
