Lawsuit filed against Ohio Libraries Over Meetings

July 23, 2008 - 1:31pm — Blake

The Clermont County Public Library Board of Trustees is facing a lawsuit in Federal Court for not allowing a financial planning meeting in the Amelia branch for religious reasons. The library is being sued by George and Kathy Vandergriff of Amelia and the Institute for Principled Policy which sponsored the seminar.

"We had done them quite often at church," George Vandergriff said. "We felt there were people who were reluctant to come to a church setting for instruction of Biblically based financial planning."

Buh-wha?

Biblically based financial planning?

But how far can I get with 30 pieces of silver?

You Gotta Be Kidding Me

Religous organizations are banned from using the public library?
