I posted about the Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) a few days ago when I learned that parents in a local school district had complained about CEF pamphlets coming home in a weekly homework/school information packet.

Some back ground info on CEF:
Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF), is a fundamentalist Christian organization, and they have been increasing their presence on public grade school campuses across America through their Good News Club.
CEF has been around for 70 years and is in over 170 countries. CEF claims that through God they been given a number of unique ministries toprey on and abuseevangelize and disciple children.
They run the Good News Club which is apparently very popular following a Supreme Court victory allowing the club to be in public schools across America. The 5-Day Club® which takes place during the summer months with with teenagers who receive training in the Christian Youth in Action® program.
CEF appears to be the most dangerous type of religious organization, they are fundamentalists and they are not afraid to use the courts.
CEF continues to sue districts all across the country that challenge them:
