The funding has been suspended, but ADF seems confident the terms were not violated. We will see how it plays out.

The ACLU’s legal complaint, which can be found at the ACLU website, lays out the ACLU’s position quite clearly. Though it obviously contains conclusions that must be verified in open court, some of the more egregious accusations, if true, are clear violations of the HHS guidelines.

The ACLU is not causing SRT to lose its funding. HHS is the only one who can revoke SRT’s federal funding and they should withhold it if the ACLU’s conclusions are accurate. HHS has asked SRT to address some concerns which is code language for, “It’s clear you’ve screwed up, we’re giving you a chance to fix it before we have to pull funding.” It is telling that SRT has significantly changed its website by removing much of its religious information.

Always remember the second part of the phrase, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Why does the ACLU always forget the second part of that phrase, THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF!

Just like congress can’t establish a religion, it can’t prevent it either.

You bring up a good point. The Constitution actually says that “Congress shall make no law.” The left have completely stretched that one beyond repair however to “seperation of Church and State.” Which is never mentioned.

Hey, I was never aware that “endorsement” of religion is a bad thing. Why shouldn’t the government support something that has proven benefits for individuals and society?

It endorses healthy living, right? Even if someone doesn’t believe in exercising, the government encourages you to do what’s good for you and the country.

“Establishment” of religion in my mind has only been forcing all to a specific denomination.

I’m serious about this — can someone tell me where the ACLU gets that an “endorsement” is against the constitution?
