Bennett was denied the opportunity to teach for six years, despite the fact that other courses of a religious (albeit non-Christian) nature were approved, including courses on Tarot reading and ancient Egyptian magic<ref>http://www.pat-med.k12.ny.us/continuing/page10.html</ref>. Faced with a potential lawsuit, the district acknowledged that they could not lawfully discriminate against Bennett based on the content of his courses <ref>http://www.alliancedefensefund.org/news/story.aspx?cid=2796</ref>. As of October, 2004, Bennett was allowed to offer his courses at the community center.
