“Religious liberty belongs to no party, no ideology, no creed: It is our common property and our shared inheritance,” said William Galston. Galston, a political scientist and advisor to former-President Bill Clinton, was honored on May 30 at the National Religious Freedom Award Dinner in Washington, D.C.
The Arkansas Justice Institute, a division of Family Council, has launched a summer campaign to help Arkansas public school districts deal with groups that oppose religious freedom.
Everyone knows that schools have been a religious liberty battleground since 1962 when the Supreme Court declared school-sponsored prayer off-limits. Over 50 years later the lines are still being drawn.
