A Florida judge has dismissed all counts against two members of The Gideons International who were arrested while handing out Bibles on a public sidewalk outside a school, officials with the Alliance Defense Fund said.
“Christians cannot be treated as second-class citizens,” said ADF senior legal counsel David Cortman. “These two men have the same constitutional rights as everyone else to pass out literature on a public sidewalk.
“We are pleased that the court agrees that these men should not have been arrested and dismissed the charges against them,” he said.
