A New York public school district has walked back its block of a Christian club a freshman student wanted to form after receiving pushback from a religious freedom organization.

First Liberty Institute sent a letter to the Wappingers Central School district on Wednesday saying that district officials were violating the Equal Access Act of 1984 by prohibiting freshman Daniela Barca from creating her "OMG! Christian Club" at Roy C. Ketcham High School this fall. First Liberty Institute is the largest organization in the U.S. that exclusively defends religious freedom.

Barca said she wanted her club to be a "faith-based support" group and hold meetings for other students dedicated to topics like "living for God in a godless society." The freshman was also able to secure a staff sponsor before school started.

Barca and her father were allegedly told by an administrator that the school district could not sponsor a religious club that was not "completely unbiased to any and all religions."

The final approval for Barca's club should take place at a January school board meeting, according to First Liberty Institute.
