Freedom From Religion Foundation Wins One Against Faith-based Initiative

The Freedom From Religion Foundation's legal challenge of direct, unrestricted taxpayer funding of a faith-based social service agency has resulted in the first court decision in the nation against public funding of faith-based initiatives.

In a decision announced this week (January 9, 2002), U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb, for the Western District of Wisconsin, found that a public "grant to Faith Works constitutes unrestricted, direct funding of an organization that engages in religious indoctrination" and that the "funding stream violates the establishment clause."
