State officials in Maine are lashing out against our recent Supreme
Court victory for school choice.

The state of Maine provides funds for school tuition to all Maine
families who live in rural areas and do not have access to a public
school for their children. It gives these families school choice.

But Maine legislators have made it impossible for families to use the
funds for a religious education.

In defiance of the Supreme Court's Carson v Makin decision, state
officials are forcing religious schools to agree to operate according
to an anti-discrimination policy that runs contrary to their faith in
order to participate in the funding program.

Even though the Supreme Court ruled that funds from programs like
Maine's can't be withheld for religious reasons, the state
is doing just that.

Families should be free to choose the educational option that works
best for them without the state's unconstitutional interference.

That's why we're fighting for Bangor Christian School and
all religious institutions, for the right to operate without the
government getting in the way.

To learn more about our recent appeal to the First Circuit Court of
Appeals, watch this interview with Senior Counsel David Hacker. He
dives into the case details and why this defense of the Carson
precedent is so critical.

We fought and won at the Supreme Court so families could freely choose
a religious education for their children. But Maine is not getting the
message that religious discrimination is illegal.

This isn't just wrong. It's unconstitutional-and
it's why we're fighting with Bangor Christian School and
will make sure justice is delivered.

But to win for Bangor Christian School and all religious schools in
Maine, we need your support now as we take this case to the First
Circuit Court of Appeals.

Together, we can fight to make sure that all faith-based schools can
equally participate in the state tuition program without facing
religious discrimination.

Will you join First Liberty on the frontlines in the fight to stop
religious discrimination in Maine?
