That includes safeguarding the ability of belief-based student organizations to associate with those who align with the organization’s mission and purpose. We wouldn’t require a Democrat club to select a registered ...

Americans’ right to live and speak the truth is facing intensifying threats. There are children today who are being targeted and punished for their faith in public schools across America. Children are also being pressured into experimental “gender transition” procedures, are being indoctrinated into radical gender and race-based ideologies, and are being taught to reject the values they are raised with at home. Artists are being threatened with fines, damages, threats to their livelihood, and even jail time for declining to promote messages that violate their deepest beliefs. These are only a ...

School is back in session and parents need to know what’s happening in their child’s school. Are they being exposed to inappropriate materials on sexuality and gender? Do parents have the option to opt their kids out of such curriculum? Does the school have a secret policy to “transition” confused students without the knowledge or consent of their parents?

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Zack Pruitt regarding the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules and Administration’s markup hearing Tuesday on S-1, legislation that expands the definition of “political speech” and dramatically alters the First Amendment speech and association protections that American citizens have enjoyed since the founding of our country: “The Senate Rules Committee has kept alive a bill that tramples on the free speech and free association rights of American citizens.

Press conference Wednesday following Bank of America annual shareholder meeting

It all began when Bank of America, one of the world’s largest banks sent abrupt notices to a Memphis-based church and Indigenous Advance, one of its ministry partners. The bank said they were closing their accounts and even the ministry’s credit cards. And they both had only 30 days to switch to a new bank. Bank of America didn’t even give a specific reason.

This bill, which provides no protection ...
