Kids
who play on church school playgrounds can be protected too. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that Missouri's
taxpayer-funded playground grant which was available to nonprofit programs
generally could not be denied to a church school. FamilyRestoration posted on this matter previously – a case
argued by Regent Law graduate, David Cortman, with Alliance Defending Freedom.
In
a 7-2 decision Chief Justice Roberts wrote for the majority, "[T]he
exclusion of Trinity Lutheran from a public benefit for which it is otherwise
qualified, solely because it is a church, is odious to our Constitution all the
same, and cannot stand."
This ruling protects children
from religious discrimination, affording them and their families 1st
Amendment freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
