    Tennessee Jewish Couple Discriminated Against By Foster Care Agency Sues Tenn. Dept. Of Children’s Services 

    “The Tennessee Constitution, like the U.S. Constitution, promises religious freedom and equality for everyone. Tennessee is reneging on that promise by allowing a taxpayer-funded agency to discriminate against Liz and Gabe Rutan-Ram because they are Jews,” said Alex J. Luchenitser, associate vice president and associate legal director at Americans United. “Laws like House Bill 836 must not stand when they allow religion to be used to harm vulnerable kids and people like Liz and Gabe who want to provide those children with safe and loving homes.”

    Americans United Statement In Honor Of Martin Luther King Jr. Day

    “As the Supreme Court takes up the case of a football coach who held post-game prayer rallies as a ‘religious freedom’ issue, we should remember that Dr. King also supported the 1962 Supreme Court decision prohibiting enforced prayer in public schools," said Americans United CEO Rachel Laser. "Americans United is representing the Bremerton School District because the district’s decisions exemplify why real religious freedom is a shield that protects us all, not a sword to harm or exclude others."

  • “I felt like I’d been punched in the gut. It was the first time I felt discriminated against because I am Jewish. It was very shocking … that the agency seemed to think that a child would be better off in state custody than with a loving family like us.” https://t.co/HAC7QLN8dm
