250 Years of Liberty and Freedom but the Fight Continues!

New Religious Liberty Case!


WILL is demanding that the Arrowhead Union High School District remedy unconstitutional religious discrimination after school officials prohibited graduating senior, Sarianne Beronja, from displaying a Bible verse on her commencement slideshow.

WILL Deputy Counsel, Cory Brewer, stated, “‘Separation of Church and State’ is not an excuse to erase the viewpoints of students of faith. Arrowhead invited students to express themselves and approved countless secular messages, but when Sarianne shared a Bible verse that reflected her faith, school officials censored it. That’s unconstitutional. We are calling on the school board to immediately correct this violation and ensure no future student is subject to similar discrimination. If the District refuses to do so, our clients are prepared to pursue legal action.”

WILL Launches Celebrate America Effort!

Consistent with WILL’s mission to advance the public interest in the rule of law, individual liberty, constitutional government, and a robust civil society, this contest invites students in kindergarten through 12th grade to reflect on the meaning of freedom in their own lives. This contest is open to all public, charter, private, and homeschool students who are citizens of the United States and reside in Wisconsin.

Students should answer one of the below questions in their own words and may choose to include a personal example—such as a freedom they value, an opportunity they have because they live in a free country, or how freedom helps them learn, speak, believe, or pursue their goals.

“What does freedom mean to you, and why is it important for America’s future?”

“What are America’s founding principles, and why do they still matter today?”

“What makes America a place of opportunity, and how can you help keep it that way?”

The top 3 contestants will receive a cash price. And the winning student and guardian will receive a free ticket to WILL’s annual celebration dinner where the winner will be announced in front of our organization’s supporters.

WILL Hosting Webinar After SCOTUS Rules In Favor of Protecting Girls' Sports!

The Supreme Court's majority opinion stated, "To provide equal opportunity for female athletes, schools do not merely maintain, for example, one soccer team, one basketball team, one ice hockey team, and one lacrosse team that are equally open to female and male athletes. That approach would deny equal opportunity to female athletes because, as all agree, females and males have inherent physical differences relevant to athletic performance."

WILL believes this ruling will help us continue and WIN important fights in Wisconsin and beyond. We will be holding a Webinar on what this mean for Wisconsin next week. Join WILL attorneys to discuss the opinion on Title IX and girls sports. We also plan to share a new model policy that school boards can adopt to protect girls sports.

Suing DPI For Answers and Accountability!

WILL has filed a lawsuit asking a judge to step in and compel DPI to immediately release records regarding denied educator licenses.

WILL Associate Counsel, Lauren Greuel, stated, “An informed electorate is essential to representative government, which is why Wisconsin law strongly favors public access to government records. After months of delay, DPI is attempting to price the public out of that access by imposing tens of thousands of dollars in unlawful fees. Government transparency cannot depend on whether citizens can afford to pay for it.”

In Case You Missed It: SCOTUS Agrees to Hear Important Parental Rights Case

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Int'l Partners v. Ferguson, a parental-rights challenge to Washington’s law letting the state hide runaway children seeking “gender-affirming treatment” from their parents and refer them for services without parental notice or consent.

WILL supported the petition with an amicus brief telling the story of Wisconsin mom S.P. Even without a law like Washington's runaway law, state actors in one county weaponized other legal tools to keep her daughter out of the home for nearly a year—through repeated meritless petitions, placement in LGBTQ foster/group homes, restricted contact, and denial of meaningful reunification efforts. The brief shows what happens when the state decides it knows better than fit parents.
