States Rally Behind Foster Care Plan That Expands Religious Family Participation

By: Hannah Bates | The Federalist The Trump administration is reversing Biden-era rules that tossed Christian families from foster care, reducing homes available to desperate children. Montana became the 25th state to join President Trump’s “A Home for Every Child” executive order initiative Monday. The $11.4 billion project under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) aims to address the national foster parent shortage, partly by creating opportunities for religious Americans the Biden administration blocked due to pro-queer policies. First Lady Melania Trump has made helping foster children one of her top philanthropic priorities. The ACF reports that “for every 100 children entering foster care, only 57 licensed foster hom...

Supreme Court Takes Up Colorado Preschool Case Testing Religious Freedom

By Lindsay Whitehurst | The Denver Gazette WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will hear from Catholic preschools that say Colorado violated their religious rights by excluding them from a state-funded “universal” pre-kindergarten program over their admission policies.

Supreme Court Sides With Parents In California Gender Identity Secrecy Fight

By Tyler O'Neil | The Daily Signal The Supreme Court Monday vindicated parental rights, upholding an injunction against California’s gender secrecy policy, which mandated that school staff hide a student’s claimed transgender identity from parents unless the student expressly consented to reveal it. “This is a watershed moment for parental rights in America,” Paul Jonna, special counsel at the Thomas More Society, said in a statement responding to the decision Monday. “The Supreme Court has told California and every state in the nation in no uncertain terms: you cannot secretly transition a child behind a parent’s back.” “The court’s landmark reaffirmation of substantive due process, its vindication of religious liberty, and its approval of class-wide re...
