Church Schools Denied funds from Tuition Program unless they Adhere to State LGBT Policy

A Maine church is challenging a state law prohibiting religious private schools from receiving funds from a tuition program unless they adhere to a state LGBT antidiscrimination policy.

Crosspoint Church, which runs Bangor Christian Schools, filed a complaint on Monday against assorted Maine officials in the United States District Court for the District of Maine.

At issue is a Maine law that requires academic institutions participating in the state school choice program to adhere to an official antidiscrimination policy, which includes barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. (Excerpt from The Christian Post.)
