Christian Youth Ministry Sues Oregon Over Funding Cuts Due to Religious Practices

71Five Ministries, a Christian youth ministry in Oregon, is suing the state's education department for allegedly cutting its funding due to its religious character. The ministry, which serves at-risk youth, claims the funding was revoked because it requires staff to adhere to its Christian faith. The lawsuit, filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom, argues that this violates the ministry's constitutional rights. The case has concluded oral arguments and awaits a judge's decision.
