A Ninth Circuit panel vacated a lower-court injunction blocking the Trump administration from ending collective bargaining rights for federal employees at more than 20 agencies, allowing agencies to proceed under updated OPM guidance.

Federal Appeals Court Restores Christian Clubs to Public School Campuses, Ruling in Favor of Religious Freedom

The Ninth Circuit, the largest federal appeals court in the US, has ruled that Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) student clubs can return to public high school campuses, stating that the First Amendment calls for mutual respect and tolerance for religious and non-religious views. The court found that the San Jose Unified School District had used a discriminatory "double standard" against FCA by removing the clubs from campuses based on their religious beliefs. The ruling ensures that religious clubs have equal access to campuses without having to give up their faith.
