We are glad the Court made clear that state bureaucrats cannot misuse investigative powers to pry into a ministry’s beliefs, donor lists, and internal religious decisions. If they do, ministries do not have to endure the full weight of an investigation before turning to a federal judge for protection.

That would have allowed state officials across the country free rein to probe religious ministries with sweeping investigations designed to pressure them into silence.

The Supreme Court just ruled unanimously that First Choice Women’s Resource Centers—a pro-life Christian ministry serving women facing unplanned pregnancies—can seek protection in federal court after New Jersey’s Attorney General launched an investigation that threatened their religious mission.

Attorney General Gentner Drummond (@Okla_OAG) is trying to shut faith-based schools out of the state’s charter school program. We just asked the court for an immediate order pausing that exclusion, so schools like Ben Gamla Jewish Charter School can participate on equal footing while the case proceeds.

We’re going to court to vindicate Ben Gamla’s right to equal treatment under the law. becketfund.org/media/jewish-c…

Attorney General Drummond can’t blacklist schools for being religious while welcoming everyone else with open arms. That kind of religious hostility is unlawful, unjust, and utterly at odds with decades of Supreme Court precedent.

We (@becketfund) just filed a lawsuit challenging Oklahoma’s rule that excludes faith-based schools from joining the state’s charter school program.
