Lawsuit prompts college to revise funding policy to end discrimination against religious, political groups

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Matt Bowman regarding the decision of two families with children at a District of Columbia Catholic school to voluntarily withdraw their lawsuit, Dugan v. Bowser, Friday now that Mayor Muriel Bowser has dropped a mandate that required masks at religious schools but not at bars, concerts, strip clubs, and shopping centers: “There was no legitimate reason to say that the parents of children in private schools can’t make their own decisions regarding masks while people in nearly all other private entities can. For ...

It’s time to take a stand. What happened to Peter Vlaming boggles the mind. Peter was fired from his job as French teacher at West Point High School in Virginia. Not for something he said or did. But for something he simply could not say. That’s wrong. And we need to send a message that government officials must respect free speech. With your help we hope to reach 50,000 signatures! School administrators demanded that Peter, a Christian, use male pronouns when referring to a female student who began identifying as a boy, even when the student’s chosen name would be just as polite to use. Peter ...

Free speech is under attack in America. Students from elementary school to graduate school are silenced for expressing their beliefs. Christian counselors are told what they can and can’t discuss with their clients. Governments are using their power to censor views they disagree with. Those are not the values our country was founded upon. Free speech is only “free” if we can say what we believe—without fear of government punishment.

Alliance Defending Freedom’s lawsuit to hold the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) accountable for recklessly and unlawfully approving chemical abortion drugs has now reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

Research has shown that chemical abortion ...

For 60 years, the heart of the mission of Medford, OR-based 71Five Ministries has been to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to the youth in their community through trusting mentor relationships. The ministry has long participated in a state grant program designed to support existing services for youth at risk of disengaging from school, work, and community. Yet after being approved for over $400,000 in grants, the state rescinded the funds. The state discriminated against the group because of its Christian beliefs. The state claims the ministry is ineligible for the grants because it only hires ...

From all of us at Alliance Defending Freedom, thank you.

Women face severe, even life-threatening, harm because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) disregarded their health and safety. By removing safety standards it once provided to women using abortion drugs, the FDA recklessly endangered them. And because of the FDA’s lawless actions, women and girls across the country have suffered. This spring, we’re asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hold the FDA accountable. We’re representing pro-women doctors who have witnessed firsthand the harm to women and girls caused by what the FDA has done. Will you stand with Alliance Defending Freedom and these ...

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel and Vice President of Advocacy Strategy Emilie Kao regarding Rep. Debbie Lesko’s introduction Tuesday of a resolution that would add an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to protect parental rights: “Parents have the fundamental right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.
