California appears to have a problem with religious education. The state is blocking families from using state homeschool funds because these families choose to use a faith-based curriculum.

That’s wrong. It’s also unconstitutional. Government cannot discriminate against parents who choose a religious education for their kids.

Yesterday, we filed a federal lawsuit to stop California’s blatant discrimination. We’re taking this case to federal court to make sure state officials follow the law.

We’re representing three California families. The Woolards, Gonzales and Dodsons all educate their children through public charter schools.

California has several charter schools that offer homeschool programs. Parents who choose this option receive an account with funds they can use for school materials and curriculum to teach their children.

Here’s the problem. The state is telling our clients they CANNOT use those funds to purchase curriculum, materials or classes that are religious.

The Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Carson v. Makin, our Treat Children Fairly case, made it abundantly clear that government cannot exclude families just because they want to use state-provided funding for a religious education. Our clients must be treated the same as everyone else.

Religious families should never be reduced to second class citizens. Period.

That’s why we’re fighting for the Woolards, Dodsons, and Gonzalezs. But we can’t do this alone. We need you to join us—and them—in this fight.

These families are just like yours. Just like mine. They simply want what’s best for their kids. But the state keeps discriminating against them.

Both you and I already know, these cases are incredibly hard to fight. They require tremendous resources. They demand the very best of us and our volunteer attorneys.

If we stand together, we will win this case. But to achieve victory, we’ll have to take the state of California to court.

We’ve taken on state bullies before—and beat them in court. In fact, we’ve taken bullies like these all the way to the highest court in the country and beaten them there. Our Treat Children Fairly victory is proof of that.

Let’s go get another win. This won’t just be a victory for three families in California. It will be a WIN FOR YOU. For your family. A win for millions of families and religious schools across America.
