"A denial of religious accommodation for the Amish leaves them with only one real choice — leave New York. Forty-five other states and the District of Columbia allow religious exemptions for students in their state. Yet New York refuses to accommodate even the Amish. New York is a radical outlier.” - Kelly Shackelford
When Marisol Castro was told she had to remove the crucifix hanging by her desk if she wanted to keep her teaching job, she made a courageous decision not to! But she has suffered for it.
The Connecticut school district suspended Marisol for two days without pay and has refused to let Marisol return to the classroom since December 2024.
This is wrong! We’re fighting for Marisol’s religious freedom in federal appeals court. Please be in prayer for Dec. 7 when we will argue an appeal in Marisol’s case.
The government is preventing Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church from building a chapel on its own land. This is wrong, and we’re fighting so that Holy Trinity can freely use its facilities to serve the needs of its congregation and the community.
