WAKE, N.C. — A Christian legal organization has filed a federal lawsuit against a public library in North Carolina after officials denied use of the facility for a lecture simply because the presentation was considered to be “religious instruction.”
Liberty Counsel, which has offices in Virginia, Florida and Washington, D.C., regularly conducts lectures throughout the country on the role of Christianity in the founding of America. In March 2013 and November 2014, the group sought to use the Cameron Village Regional Library in Wake, N.C. to present a lecture. However, it was denied both times.
According to a complaint filed last week in federal court, in March 2013, while initially granting use of the library’s meeting room, representative Susan Lane Partisan responded to Liberty Counsel’s reservation application by noting that “political meetings and religious instruction, services or ceremonies are not permitted” at the library.

Liberty Counsel almost always wins. Library is going to be paying LC legal fees.
With the new found respect for religious beliefs caused by the draw Mohamed contest this problem should go away.
We can also look forward to no longer requiring paying for abortions and birth control if there are religious objections.
I guess it also means an end to abortions since that might offend someone.
Of course I won’t hold my breath waiting to see all that happen.
Ms. Partisan is wrong
The library would not bake a cake.
