BAY MINETTE, Ala. (AP) - A Loxley street preacher and his wife
have filed a $5 million lawsuit against a south Alabama school
district after the school board turned down their proposal to set
up a Christian after-school program.
It's the third lawsuit Orlando and Glynis Bethel have filed
against the Baldwin County school board over the same issue. The
board filed a lawsuit Oct. 10 asking a judge to block the Bethels
from filing any more lawsuits against the district.
The couple responded with their latest lawsuit, which claims the
board is discriminating against them because of religious bias.
The lawsuits are just part of more than a dozen federal lawsuits
the couple has filed against government entities in Alabama since
2005.
