A lawsuit filed in federal court last week accuses California’s Antelope Valley Union School Board of blocking scholarships from atheists while allowing them from Scientology.

Courthouse News Service reported that the district was sued after it refused to let students compete for $17,950 in scholarships from the Freedom From Religion Foundation and $1,750 in scholarships from the Antelope Valley Freethinkers.

Nearly 20K in scholarships up for grabs, and the school DISAPPROVES? For crying out loud, my (blue-collar, Old Country-influenced, rather old fashioned) old high school would have been standing over us with two-by-fours, severely encouraging us to compete for just about any money available. (And if the local churches kicked up a fuss, there'd have been a challenge to "meet or beat" those scholarship offers.)
