The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Mark Lippelmann regarding a Tennessee school board’s unanimous decision last week to approve the application of Union Academy, a Christian college preparatory school, to operate within the state’s charter school program:
“Tennessee parents and children are better off with more educational choices, not fewer. The Jackson-Madison County School System Board was right to approve Union Academy’s request to operate as a charter school and should be commended for refusing to engage in unconstitutional discrimination based upon the school’s religious character. Alliance Defending Freedom wholeheartedly supports Union Academy in its endeavor to become the nation’s first religious charter school, opening up educational options and freedom for more Tennessee families.”
Alliance Defending Freedom is an alliance-building, non-profit legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.
