Lawyers representing students from Rice Memorial High School in South Burlington, VT have filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming the state has discriminated against their clients on religious grounds, the Burlington Free Press reports.
Attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom, a litigating advocacy group that has had success in high-profile cases, complain that three high school students attending the parochial high school in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington have been denied access to college-level classes merely because they attend a religion-based school.
