CNA-Mitarbeiter, 12. Juni 2025 \/ 10:59 Uhr (CNA).<\/p>\n

Katholische Familien in Pennsylvania errangen diese Woche einen Sieg vor einem Bundesgericht, als ein lokaler Schulbezirk zustimmte, Sch\u00fclern von Konfessionsschulen die Teilnahme an sportlichen Veranstaltungen und anderen Aktivit\u00e4ten des Bezirks zu gestatten.<\/p>\n

Das Thomas More Society<\/a>, eine in Chicago ans\u00e4ssige Anwaltskanzlei f\u00fcr \u00f6ffentliches Interesse, teilte in einer Pressemitteilung mit<\/a> dass mehrere katholische Familien diesen \u201egro\u00dfen Sieg\u201c vor dem U.S. District Court f\u00fcr den Middle District of Pennsylvania errungen hatten, nachdem sie im Juli 2023 Klage eingereicht hatten.<\/p>\n

Der State College Area School District hatte urspr\u00fcnglich erkl\u00e4rt, dass Sch\u00fcler von Konfessionsschulen nicht an au\u00dferschulischen Aktivit\u00e4ten des Bezirks teilnehmen d\u00fcrften, obwohl er dies Sch\u00fclern, die zu Hause unterrichtet werden, sowie Sch\u00fclern von Charterschulen gestattete.<\/p>\n

Die Familien der katholischen Sch\u00fcler hatten den Bezirk verklagt und argumentiert, dass die Richtlinie ihre verfassungsm\u00e4\u00dfigen Rechte auf Religionsfreiheit und Gleichbehandlung verletze.<\/p>\n

Im Dezember 2023 erlaubte der US-Bezirksrichter Matthew Brann die Fortf\u00fchrung der Klage<\/a>, und stimmte zu, dass die Regelung die verfassungsm\u00e4\u00dfigen Rechte der Beklagten zu verletzen schien.<\/p>\n

In einem Schriftsatz vom 10. Juni einigten sich die katholischen Familien und der Schulbezirk auf eine gerichtliche Anordnung (Consent Order),<\/a> die festlegt, dass die katholischen Sch\u00fcler \u201egrunds\u00e4tzlich Anspruch auf dieselben allgemein verf\u00fcgbaren Leistungen haben wie diejenigen, die Sch\u00fclern gew\u00e4hrt werden, die zu Hause unterrichtet werden oder Charterschulen besuchen\u201c.<\/p>\n

Der Bezirk erkl\u00e4rte, er stimme zu, \u201eSch\u00fclern von Konfessionsschulen \u2026 dieselben au\u00dferschulischen und ko-kurrikularen Aktivit\u00e4ten (einschlie\u00dflich Sport) sowie Bildungsprogramme zur Verf\u00fcgung zu stellen, die auch Sch\u00fclern angeboten werden, die zu Hause unterrichtet werden oder Charterschulen besuchen.\u201c<\/p>\n

Thomas Breth, Sonderberater der Thomas More Society, sagte in der Pressemitteilung, dass Schulbezirke in Pennsylvania \u201eSch\u00fcler nicht diskriminieren und von Aktivit\u00e4ten ausschlie\u00dfen d\u00fcrfen, nur weil sie sich f\u00fcr den Besuch einer religi\u00f6s gepr\u00e4gten Schule entscheiden.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201eReligi\u00f6se Diskriminierung hat in unserer Gesellschaft keinen Platz, erst recht nicht an unseren \u00f6ffentlichen Schulen\u201c, sagte Breth.<\/p>\n

Er argumentierte, dass die Anordnung \u201edie F\u00e4higkeit der Eltern st\u00e4rkt, bei Bildungsentscheidungen die religi\u00f6sen \u00dcberzeugungen ihrer Familie zu priorisieren, ohne gezwungen zu sein, Bildungs- und Sportm\u00f6glichkeiten zu opfern, die anderen Sch\u00fclern angeboten werden und mit ihren Steuergeldern finanziert werden.\u201c<\/p>\n

In einem Interview mit CNA sagte der Anwalt, dass die gerichtliche Anordnung zwar nicht landesweit gelte, aber wahrscheinlich dazu beitragen werde, sicherzustellen, dass andere Bezirke Sch\u00fcler von Konfessionsschulen nicht von Aktivit\u00e4ten des Bezirks ausschlie\u00dfen.<\/p>\n

\u201eIch gehe fest davon aus, dass sehr, sehr viele Schulbezirke einlenken und sich entscheiden werden, das Thema nicht gerichtlich auszufechten\u201c, sagte er.<\/p>\n

Der Bezirk zahlte letztendlich $150.000 an Anwaltskosten an die Kl\u00e4ger, merkte Breth an. Er forderte Eltern katholischer Sch\u00fcler auf, in Erw\u00e4gung zu ziehen, ihre Bezirke dazu zu dr\u00e4ngen, ihren Kindern Zugang zu au\u00dferschulischen Aktivit\u00e4ten zu gew\u00e4hren.<\/p>\n

\u201eIch stehe bereits mit Eltern in anderen Schulbezirken in Kontakt\u201c, f\u00fcgte er hinzu. \u201eSie befinden sich in \u00e4hnlichen Situationen. Wir werden in anderen Bezirken hartn\u00e4ckig bleiben, wenn sie nicht anerkennen, dass sie eine verfassungsm\u00e4\u00dfige Verpflichtung haben, Sch\u00fclern von Konfessionsschulen die Teilnahme auf die gleiche Weise wie Sch\u00fclern von Charterschulen oder Sch\u00fclern, die zu Hause unterrichtet werden, zu erm\u00f6glichen.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201eHoffentlich wird es nicht zu einem Rechtsstreit kommen. Hoffentlich reichen Briefe aus\u201c, sagte er. \u201eHoffentlich wird der Bezirk das Richtige f\u00fcr die Kinder tun, denn letztendlich geht es genau darum.\u201c<\/p>\n
