9th Cir., 2-1, holds Fellowship of Christian Athletes school group likely to prevail on its free exercise challenge to school district that excluded the group from status as an official student club.

Directs district court to grant prelim. injunction.

School claimed FCA was only group that had discriminatory membership or leadership requirements—pointing to the group's disapproval of sex outside of straight marriage. Maj. op. points to school-approved women-only and "Asian-prioritized" groups to conclude that's not true.



Judge Lee, concurring, would go further and find an additional free exercise violation under Masterpiece Cakeshop since the record is replete with animus directed at Christians by teachers and staff.
